Overview
About Me
I like to believe that I am the right dosing of both simplicity and refinement. I was born and raised on a Canadian wild and beautiful archipelago of 90 km2 in the middle of the saint-Lawrence's golf, on the Atlantic side of the country. After living in different provinces of Canada as well as in the county of Savoie (France) in the past few years, I am now completing a master’s degree in kinesiology – neuromechanics at Laval University, and I have been living in Québec City for a year.
I studied kinesiology, so physical activity and science are central in my life. I try to be as active as possible. I am also very curious about other cultures, ideas or languages. I like to be challenged in my opinions and to get to see from other perspectives. I am also a bit of a geek, I must admit. Give me a microcontroller and i’ll find something to do with it, and I will probably spend the whole day working on it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I heard of couchsurfing from a friend a few years ago. It has become my favourite way of travelling since. New ideal of travel, far from profits and tourist trends, based on concepts like openness and sharing, that are not sufficiently emphasized nowadays. I do believe that you can learn, enjoy a city, and create true friendships with locals with couchsurfing, and that is my motivation for being here.
