About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Extend my horizons!

ABOUT ME

I'm a french Acadienne Canadian, living in Québec, Montreal, but on the english part of the Island (West Island); how confusing is that!
All about me? I don't think it's possible for someone to describe themselves on a computer profile. So, I'll tell you this: Get to know me and I garantie you that you won't regret it, because I get along with pretty much anyone. Also, I kinda love everyone I meet, so I'm certainly eager to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

I think it's unimportant to know exactly where you're going in life, but you have to be moving foward.

Don't compare all the time; listen and exchange.

You've got to stay open-minded about other cultures, values and customs, but stick to your values wathever happens.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just heard of this organization, because I'm presently on my first trip ever by myself. I'm still a bit young to have my own place, but I plan to have a couch to offer in the near future. Right now, I want to see the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none yet, but I think it's the start of a great adventure.

Interests

I'm interested in a lot of stuff, but here we go:

Sports?: Hockey (definetely my favorite, I'm in a league back in Canada); Soccer (or Football for Europeans), I've been playing for 14 years; Kayak, but I can't practice it a lot back home unfortunately; American Football, I just love watching games on TV.

Activities: I love to go out with friends in clubs, pubs, bars, name it!
I love to draw, read a good book, cook (I'm still learning though), visit a museum (mostly art and architecture or historical).
Go to the movie theater, mostly because I have a diploma in making films.
Go to a play.

Meeting new people and exchanging theories on life, culture and learn a new language.

Taking pictures: I'm a kodak freak!
