Hi,
My name is Io.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Same reasons as everyone: To meet people from all over the world, to get to see stuff tourists usually don't see, and because I'm poor. Well, I used to think I was poor, but in fact I might just be some sort of bourgeois who enjoys to come in people's houses and observe how they behave in their natural habitat.

Interests

My biggest interests when I travel are the culture, the history, the architecture, the pastries, and everything.

Teach, Learn, Share

"A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have."

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know my city and Quebec's culture very well, and I am always glad when I have the occasion to talk about them.
