About Me

I'm a pretty nice and easy-going person. I'm always laughing ! I'm super proud to live in Quebec city and I'll be glad to show you around.
I really like to learn about someone else's culture and stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a way for me to share with people around the world, one of my main passion !

As for when I travel, I like to do what locals do, I think it's the best way to really get to know the place.

Interests

I like to read, to learn about lot's of things, to cook, to run, to walk around the city, to do crosswords, to spend hours in a coffee shop reading newspaper, oh... and to sing and play ukulele (but in that case I think I'm the only one to enjoy it, haha !).

I just love to be outside and to breath fresh air !

Music, Movies, and Books

- I'm mainly into folk music, but I'm really opened to any styles. For example, Patrick Watson, Ben Howard and The National are part of my favorite artists. Currently I'm listening to african and cuban music and I enjoy it a lot ! Our music here in Quebec is also pretty good, you've got to check it out !

- I'm a Woody Allen fan, I also like french movies (like Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) and any movie from which I can learn something.

- Boris Vian, Hemingway, Salinger, Kerouac, Romain Gary.... and JK Rowling !
