Eliane B.'s Profile

***SAFE SPACES ARE IMPORTANT FOR ME*** People from all gender, sexual orientation, races, spiritual beliefs, physical and mental abilities and appearance are welcome. Honesty, truth and love are my most important values and I expect people I welcome to be respectful to all people. CURRENT MISSION I want to get the most out of my travelling to be able to share my experiences with the kids I will teach to. ABOUT ME I am a student in education beause I believe that if you learn early that the only limits that you have are the one you have given yourself, you can change the world and do the greatest things. I believe in humans, in sharing culture, experiences, stories. That is how we will grow and open up our mind. I try to be happy the most I can and to have fun with anything in all situations, but I also love to have some time relax, just enjoying the little things like the sun on my skin, breathing and walking. I am grateful for what I have and I like to give, help and share when I can. PHILOSOPHY Happiness is only read when shared. We only have one life so we must make the most out of it.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have been an opportunist. When I travelled in Saskatchewan, Canada, I met two incridible families who welcomed me in their house for few months. After that, I met someone who introduced me to the CS website and eventually I will want to have people over so I can show them how beautiful Montreal is! In august 2014, I travelled in France, England, Spain and Morrocco and I couchsurfed during the stay. I didn't had only great experiences but I learned that I wanted to be a host so I could help other people to have a great couchsurfing experience! When I came back in Montreal, I hosted two couples from France and from the United States. I loved hosting them and I know that if I go in their country one day, they will also be there for me!

About

I work a lot on myself to become better everyday. I enjoy every second as it is because it will never be giving back to us!

I am studying at the Université du Québec à Montréal in education to teach in elementary schools.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rock and old rock, pop-punk and emo-punk, but I also listen to indie, new age, ska, classic, psytranse (mostly in festivals) and folk. I used to love watching movies but now I don't have as much time as I use to for it. Some of my best of are from Tim Burton and Almodovar. I love the movie Les Choristes, Run Lola Run, all of the Harry Potter and Lord of the Ring and much more. I mostly enjoy watching documentaries about the deep sea and the universe, or how things works (on curiosity stream mostly). On Netflix, I love the OA, Stranger Things, Cuckoo, About a Boy... there is still a lot of series I've never watch tho! I also like to watch Ted Talks about education and other subjects. As of books, I have a few that I have love. L'endroit précis de ma colère, from Marie Clarke and Toutes mes solitudes from Marie-Christine Lemieux-Couture. I also like a lot Aminata from Lawrence Hill and different books from Yves Nadon, Normand Baillargeon and other professionnal in education from Quebec!
