Seasoned traveller and french born, I moved to Canada 13 years ago and had the chance to meet amazing couchsurfers in the past.

I actually a previous profile on here but left the community during the Covid pandemic.. here I am again :)

This is not my first rodeo, and I hope I will have the chance to host more travellers in need for a place in beautiful Montréal!

Respect is key in all circumstances.

I try to accept last minute requests, but it's not always possible!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I was lucky enough to meet wonderful people on CS, some of them I'm still friends with, and who were very welcoming. It's time to give back as it is always a rewarding experience.

If you reach out, please make at least the effort to write something meaningful so I don't have the impression you sent the same message to everyone. I'm very aware that some of you are sometimes in dire situations if you're looking for a place to stay at last minute, but generic stuff leaves me cold.

Música, películas y libros

Im a movie buff, so you name it.
During my studies in film, I watched lots and lots of Hollywood movies and still am fond of those. But nothing beats a horror movie, especially found footage! They are perfect for a harsh cold sunday or winter evening with dimmed lights and popcorn!

I don't often listen to music except Billboard hits or Eurovision, which is a genre of its own, and I'm always super excited to introduce some gems to newbies, it's actually part of the camp culture. I have no doubt you'll be amazed!

The last medium I indulge in shamelessly is video games, mostly action-adventure franchises like Uncharted, Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed. Let's play!

And finally, I'm OBSESSED by the show The Traitors, I try to watch every season and you hear about plans to play it IRL near Montreal, please hook me up!!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Camping in Botswana's bush, snorkeling in Bali, trekking in the jungle of Guatemala, climbing Big Daddy in Namibia are just a few!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

One of my biggest regrets was to skip spanish classes at school, so if you speak the language of Cervantes that might pique my interest :p

Nothing makes me more curious than a good travel story, I think well-travelled people are more open-minded and there's always something to learn from others in that regard. I have a few cool anecdotes myself, of course :)

Canada is well-known for being a cosmopolitan haven, and that applies to my home. I can not accept racist or any kind of discriminatory speech or behavior, to say the least.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Clean and safe place for short stays in Montreal!
Also I know the city quite well so depending on your likings (and my free time), I'd be happy to give you a tour of the nicest spots in Montreal. Summer and fall are absolutely beautiful here!

You'll stay in your own private room, far from mine, so you'll have all the privacy you need.
That being said, no drugs and no hard drinking. I like my Chenin Blanc and my gin&tonic (of course) but week days are tough at work and I can not get crazy too often - which I'm sure you can understand!
