About Me

Adventurer on the path of life... I used to live in an eco-house that I built with my own hands and heart. It is insulated with straw bales and has solar panels and a composting toilet. I was teaching and working in Eco-building and Permaculture for several years. Since then, I have been living in Montreal working at a mushroom store, and was recently certified as a TRE provider (ask me about it!).

I have travelled quite a bit in Europe, in Canada, I've been to Peru twice, and most recently, in my home province of Quebec - a place I would like to continue discovering for years to come and for which my love grows daily. I love to show people around when I have time, and to recommend beautiful places to visit in my region and beyond.

I love meeting new people and sharing personal stories. I am deepening my knowledge of myself and am a seeker of Truth - working on being more authentic with myself and others. I love to be in nature. I also love and need my quiet time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have friends who have highly recommended couchsurfing as a way to meet new people when travelling and in the comfort of your own home. When I travel, I love getting to know locals and learning about their customs and seeing how they live. I also love to share the same with people who come to visit me.
