About Me

I'm an aspiring French, ESL and History teacher. I'm a very curious person and love learning about places and cultures. So far, I've had the chance to live in Guelph, Ottawa, Québec City, Eastern France, and Brussels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to see as many cities, meet as many people, and speak as many languages as possible! While being a tourist is fun, I much prefer getting to know the culture and people of a place, something that gets lost while sleeping in a hostel or following travel guides.

Interests

I love music, movies, festivals, concerts, food, working with kids, nature, parties, biking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm open to discovering new styles and tastes. My iPod is full of Alternative, House, PunkRock, and EDM with some Chopin and Lizst thrown in there. At the moment my favourites are Lorde, Passion Pit and Kygo.

Movies: I like movies that make you think or have a message. Cinematography is very important. I really liked Inception, Gone Girl, L'auberge espagnole. I'm still waiting for the Arrested Development movie.

Books: I haven't read a lot of books but I'm interested in getting back into reading. Any suggestions on powerful writers are appreciated!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love working with kids - at camp and at schools, and it's amazing to help them grow and reach their goals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very interested in learning languages. Culture also interests me...especially food, music, and celebrations of a place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to tell you about life in my country, and I can help you practice English. I also play piano and enjoy discussions about life, culture, music and politics.
