Hey guys! My name is Kim and I am from Montreal, a charming city in the french part of Canada. I am an easy going girl always ready to have some good time. I love biking and look forward in doing a biking trip in the future.

I like to travel and meet people... well like everybody on couchsurfing I guess ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love my city and would love visitors to love it as much as I do. To me, the people makes the beauty of a country and hospitality is something that I value a lot. I can't host anybody at the moment because I live in the suburbs (about 1hr away from the city-centre) with my parents and would not want anybody to get lost on the way.

Honestly, I think the best way to learn about a country is by meeting the locals. My best travel memories haves always been about the people I meet. I think it is the people that makes a culture.

Interests

I take a lot of interest in Art and social issues. I think there is something extremely appealing in taking the time to create something beautiful. One of my favorite artist is Carrie Mae Weems who explores issues of race, class and gender identity.

Activism has always been a part of my life. Inequalities make me want to stand up for our rights. But honestly, one of my favourite things to do is to chill on a terrace in the summer in my city sharing a beer with friends. I love summer because people are more relaxed and the overall joy of everybody around.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding on top of a jeepney on the road surrounded by rice terraces in the Philippines. It was the best taste of freedom.
