About Me

ON THE ROAD AND CAN'T HOST, WILL BE SURFING A BIT :)

CURRENT MISSION

Discover the world

ABOUT ME

Hey hey biography time !

This year I sold everything I owned and decided that life wasn't going to revolve around what I owned but rather what I experience. I am back in Europe to travel and live also. I'll be walking parts of Germany, and going around Spain too. Walked the north this summer 1052km of hike!! I have amazing legs hahaha

In the past I have lived in Dublin, Ireland for 3months on a working holiday visa. After my experience in Dublin I travelled around Ireland and then I headed towards the Uk. I did: Edinburgh, London, Bruges, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Munich, Strassbourg, Dijon, Lyon, Chamonix, Marseille, Carcassonne, Toulouse, Barcelona, Granada, Sevilla, Lisbon, Porto, Madrid, Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Nantes, St-Malo and finally Paris. I am really open minded and I really love to have a chat around a good beer or glass of wine. I also love food ! There is nothing best than a great dinner with a good bottle of wine and great company :) I love to discover new places and meet new people. I am really looking forward to many other couch surfing experiences.

I have spent a year in Menorca and am now in Huelva. I love to host people home but I also have a tight schedule during the week. I will prefer weekends. If you have read that far it means you are a serious demand. Please mention the code "érable" which means maple, Canada's main tree.

PHILOSOPHY

Hakuna matata, no seriously : Take time to live your life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been hosted many times in my trip in Europe and now I am receiving people home in Huelva but will be on the road for the summer. I love the philosophy of couchsurfing. I will not host you if you are just trying to use me as a hotel. I want to meet people who backpack, hike, or travel differently.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was Strasbourg then, dijon, lyon, chamonix, carcasonne, toulouse, bordeaux, nantes, st-malo and Paris. People were awesome and we had a great time :)

Interests

I really love to travel. This is my second time in Europe. Like listed above I was on a big backpack tour of Europe and can't imagine life without luggage! I also love different kinds of music. Sometimes I feel more latin music, other times french singers, or a good bob marley in the summertime :) I also love Jack Johnson, and of course many Quebec singers. I am also in a league of ''improvisation'' which is an acting game with a referee and public who vote for the best team.(kind of a funny show).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a humanitarian trip in Guatemala when I was 17 and it was the beginning of my passion for trips. Over there I helped in a cooperative and lived in families. CouchSurfing is also a kind of family and all the members are so welcoming :)

Teach, Learn, Share

-I can show you how to play wooden spoons (traditional music instrument).

-Share travelling experience

-Teach English (kind of my full time job ...)

-I can teach you how to swear as a Quebecer, a must when you learn a new language :P
