CURRENT MISSION

Be happy. Period.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently doing a masters in French Literature. Almost done. So as you may have guessed I very often have my nose in a book. Which doesn't keep me from being very outgoing and loving to meet new people, especially if i can have a good laugh! I'm very easy to get along with, I love good food, good friends and good wine.

I love words and entend to spend my life playing around with them :) I write a lot and am currently working on a novel, but unfortunately it's hard to find time to write with everything else I have going on right now. But I WILL finish it! :)

I love my city: Montreal. And I love talking about it!

Music is also a big part of my life: listening to music is the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning and the last thing I do before I go to bed at night. I would love to share my favorite artists with you!

In short: I read. I write. I listen to music (a lot of music). I watch movies. I play the guitar and the accordion (yup, accordion!). I travel as much as I can. I take pictures. I'm a loner who also loves people. I talk a lot but I'm a good listener. I go out. For drinks or to concerts. I love concerts. I also love staying in. I make friends. I get tattooed. I laugh. I am who I am. That's me in a nutshell.

PHILOSOPHY

I am just looking to be happy. That's it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During a 5-month trip to Europe, I had the chance to meet some great people, thanks to Couchsurfing! Since I move around a lot for work, I am not always able to host, but I look forward to many more couchsurfing experiences!
