Hi!

My name is Isabelle, I am a photographer and a heavy tea drinker who loves to travel, meet and photograph people on my route. I am always up for eccentric things to do and I have a very open heart.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to join Couchsurfing in 2016 for a photo project meeting strangers across Canada. I ended up not using it that much but I really enjoyed my experience hanging out with a nice family. I like to meet new people and hear about different cultures!
