Hello! My name is Geneviève and I am a Canadian journalist living and working in Montréal, Québec. I was born in Saguenay, a north-eastern region of Quebec made out of forests and rivers. Outside article writing and news editing, I play music (piano) and pursue a part-time cursus of Feminist Studies, as I am interested in understanding better gender issues. When I can take time off work, I always travel, for short of long periods — I always spend at least a month in a country every year, as it is important to me to take my time discovering it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I began using Couchsurfing in 2009, and ever since I've tried to meet people through it while traveling, even if not staying at someone's flat. I have always had great encounters and discussions. Everyone was always friendly, open minded, curious and generous of his time. The memories I have of my time with couchsurfers have become memories of the travel itself.

Interests

I love literature and music, I can talk and share about this for hours. I also enjoy talking about history, politics, languages, and any country I have visited.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching a storm in the mogotes around Viñales, Cuba. Cycling the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Trekking in the Rif mountains, Morocco. Every travel has its short extraordinary moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share my knowledge about piano, journalism, vegetarian-vegan food, literature, art and languages — as a Québécoise, I speak French! That said, I love to learn from other cultures and people. And I am ready to join in any activity when possible.
