NOTE: Mon profil est en anglais pour la compréhension
de la majorité, mais que ça ne vous empêche pas de me contacter en français, qui reste ma langue maternelle et d'usage courant.

I am a native French speaker, fluent in English, German and Brazilian Portuguese, somewhat fluent in Spanish.

I draw a lot, enjoy reading and watching movies. I have been doing improv for something like 15 years now

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I figured I could offer a place to stay for CouchSurfers and maybe help them discover the most interesting city of Québec. This way I can meet people from elsewhere, learn from their experiences and trips and plan a future trip of my own.

Now I am travelling and hoping I can meet some new people through CS during my stay in Germany.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Currently living abroad in the countryside for 8 full months.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know the city of Québec quite well, that is, its history, geography, language, culture, etc.

Discussions on any subjects are more than welcome, especially around a pint of good beer.

I am very willing to teach you the basics of the French language and am more than willing to learn another language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a french as a foreign language teacher, so I guess I could teach you french (as a foreign language).

I can tell you a lot about Québec, its peculiar history and not-so-well-known culture

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, United States
