About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travel, host and meet people

ABOUT ME

I'm a French Canadian living in Montréal, Québec. I'm interested by meeting people from everywhere. If some people travelling in Montréal would like to meet me, I'm open! I know very well the city and Québec in general, so I think I can be useful. And of course, for talking about all and nothing. I also have a couch and some floor splace to sleep on.

PHILOSOPHY

I have some left ideas, believing in a world with more social justice, equality and freedom.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met some people of CS in Iceland and I offer my couch in Montréal.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled in Iceland last summer and I met a few nice people of CS there. I was great to spend time with local people, being hosted or just take a drink and have a chat.

Interests

I'm interested by a lot of things. I studied history at university. I like to learn foreign languages (or try to!) and learn about other cultures and societies. I also have a great interest for music, cinema, litterature and almost everything around humanities, philosophy and arts.
