Hi there! My name is Bernadette, I’m 24 yrs old. I’m from Montreal (Qc) but I now live in Québec City. I initially moved there to complete my bachelor’s degree but since I fell in love with the area I decided to stay. I love hiking, cooking and meeting new people. In the winter I love going skiing and exploring what nature has to offer! I’m currently completing a public relations masters degree and I also work in the field. I enjoy discussing on any topic, but I find myself interested in politics, the media culture and communications!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, taste different foods, while exploring new cities and countries. Also, I think CouchSurfing is ideal for getting out of your comfort zone, while enjoying a local perspective during a trip.

I've been skiing since I was 2 years old, then I love this sport! Also, I knit a lot. I often have 1001 knitting project ideas in mind.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of essays. Moreover, I have read several that deal with urban planning, politics and feminism. More recently, I read the novel Là où je me terre. It is an excellent novel about the life of a young Chilean woman whose life changes when she immigrate to Montreal with her family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Croatia last summer with friends, it was great!! We went along the entire Dalmatian coast, as far as Dubrovnik. During this trip, I ate excellent food and saw the most beautiful landscapes of my life! The culture, history and language of Croatia are so beautiful and interest. Otherwise, younger, I traveled to the United States, France, Belgium and Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to knit! I started last year just to try it, and now I’m practically obsessed to say the least! 🫣

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to discuss culture with my hosts, that's for sure! I like to understand what makes people proud and learn about their daily reality.
