CURRENT MISSION

Spreading good vibes in Montreal's underground through music and preparing for our next adventure on the road!

ABOUT ME

We are street musicians and travelers. We have backpacking experience (Europe and Canadian/American West Coast) and last year, we bought our precious VW bus "Rafiki", a dream come true! After months of traveling and living the van life, we've recently moved into our new apartment in Montreal!

We've slept on many kind people's couches and now, it's our turn to give back!

PHILOSOPHY

"Happiness only real when shared."
- Chris McCandless

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We couchsurfed several times when we were backpacking on the American West Coast in Fall of 2013 and all our experiences were wonderful! It allowed us to meet wonderful folks and discover secret parts of cities/areas we were travelling in!

Interests

Music (all sorts!!)

We play many instruments: guitar, piano, harmonica, ukulele, etc.

And we love:

- Street Art (if you're fan, Montreal has A LOT to offer!!)
- Books
- Documentaries/Cinema
- Photography
- Anything creative and original!

We love exchanging ideas over a good bottle of wine, as well as good vegetarian food. We love our friends, both humans and animals!
