CURRENT MISSION

Live life to its fullest! Be Happy! Meet people!

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, energetic girl. Love to travel, meet people and discover new cultures, and of course delicious food from all over the world!
I feel alive when in action, so I enjoy lots of sports and outdoor adventures! Also love arts of all kind (music, dance, theater, photography, movies, architecture...)
I love my city and its vibrant multicultural energy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couch surfing experience as I traveled to Prague to run the marathon in May 2010, followed by beautiful discoveries of Czech Republic, Vienna & Hungary...Visiting central Europe was fun but the highligh was definitely the local hospitality!
Next marathon/traveling project was Reykjavik, Iceland in August 2011, and again the taste of local hospitality through Couch Surfing was a true bonus to the trip. Similarly at home, I have been hosting whenever possible...There is nothing like meeting new people, sharing our cultures and perspectives on life!
Now, being a family, involves a different kind of travelling with more planning and logistics, but I have the desire to share the beauties of the world & its people, and bring up open-mindedness to my children!

Music, Movies, and Books

Sigur Ros & Patrick Watson have a special place in my heart as my children were born to the sound of their music!

The book: "A Fine Balance" really touched me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lot's of humanitarian travels for children with disabilities in developing countries, including rehabilitation projects in all parts of Central America, Peru, Argentina, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Egypt, Jordan, Ladakh, India...

What I Can Share with Hosts

As the house is now full with 2 children, hosting is more difficult, but I am more than happy to provide information & resources to people visiting Montreal, meeting up and showing them cool places in town, whether touristy or non-touristy! I can be of help to any family who may have questions related to visiting Montreal with children! Montreal is a fun and fabulous city!
