About Me

Hello,

I am born in Québec City, Canada. I have been studying in adventure tourism in Gaspé to be an outdoor guide. I love being outdoor and being active. I enjoy canoeing, kayaking, hiking. I also enjoy cooking over a fire and camping all around. I am open minded and I think it is important for me to learn languages to share with others. If you want someone to do an outdoor trip, i'm the one!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need couch surfing to travel for cheaper and meet locals. It is important for me. As a guide, I love what I do but I need help from the others to make my trips doable or else money will slip off my hand easily by going from hotel to hotel.
