I was born in France 33 years ago and I live in Québec (Canada) since 2005. During these years in Quebec, I worked in several organizations as a project manager and developpement worker in the areas of environment and local food. In 2015-2016, I spent 1 year in Senegal to work as a development worker with a grower's cooperative. I met my boyfriend Dennis there. The next year we traveled around the Balkans and southeast Asia together. We now live in Chicoutimi.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a CS member since 2009. I guess I won't be very original by writing that I want to meet new people from different parts of the world and to learn about different countries and cultures.

I have hosted several couchsurfers in Canada and Senegal. Each encounter has been interesting and enjoyable, several of them have been transformed in real friendship.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left my natal country at the age of 20. It was a childhood dream. I have never regretted this choice. It made me realize that it's quite easy to make our dreams come true.
