About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing my PhD

ABOUT ME

I am Deborah, I came to Montréal all the way from Switzerland during summer 2008 to do my PhD. I am studying clinical and health psychology, am very energetic and love to dance any time I can get a chance to. I am also interested in photography.

PHILOSOPHY

"Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like heaven on earth." -Mark Twain-

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted several people in the past. I am also spreading the concept of CS to people who don't know it yet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After hosting some friends' friends (not directly with CS, we didn't know it by the time !), I had a great first CS experience as a guest in Edmonton ! So, with my ex-boyfriend, we decided to try our next road trip in the Maritimes with CS, which was definitively a good idea, because we had a lot of fun meeting awesome people!!
