About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being happy!

ABOUT ME

I'd say I'm a pretty easy-going person, and fairly easy to get along with... I LOVE to have fun. But who doesn't, really?... I need social activity in my life, I need to see people, and making new friends is something I very much enjoy. I also love laughing. :)

I'm constantly working on myself, trying to be a better person. I could point out my flaws, but I won't. You'll discover them soon enough!

I enjoy doing many sports/activities, and this summer I am playing soccer as well as doing dragon boating. Next winter I'd love to get into cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.

On a side-note, I have to admit that I miss the East coast a lot, but the Ottawa region is an awesome place to live in! You never run out of stuff to do! :)

PHILOSOPHY

You can never have too much fun! Enjoy life, live in the moment, and go with the flow...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to couchsurf other than at my friends', but I'm SO looking forward to my first real couchsurfing experience! One of my latest resolutions is to start traveling, and I fully intend to do just that, as soon as possible!

I've been participating in the Ottawa CS's group meetings and activities... What a great way to meet new people, try new things, and share ideas!

Also, I've been helping to translate the CouchSurfing.org website into French. It's important that everyone, no matter where they live or what language they speak, can have access to the wonderful wonderful thing that is CouchSurfing! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning in general. I'm always amazed to find out how stuff works. Specifically, I'd like to learn more about computers. And I also want to try rock climbing, one of these days. Anyone?

I'm usually pretty good with French and English in general, and especially grammar and spelling. I love discussing bilingualism and anything language-related. :)
