About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life and enjoy it with others!

ABOUT ME

Hum... what to say about me... well, I'm small enough to fit in my big suitcase, but I'm not carrying it anymore since I've discovered the joy of traveling with my backpack! Studying, volunteering, working, relaxing... all the reasons are good for me to travel!

And now, I've been quite settled in Montreal since I've started working here. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze in some trips here and there.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you think you're too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito." (African proverb)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Seeing a country through the eyes of a local is so much more interesting! I've been couchsurfing in Europe and it was simply wonderful! I like meeting new people and share experiences. When I travel, I'm not necessarily looking for the best coffee place or the best bookstore... I just like to find out about places and things that my host enjoys as they often have a story behind. I also hosted a few people during my university time when I lived with a bunch of other friends much more dedicated to Couchsurfing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Early morning, cambodian countryside. No noise, except for the motor of our car on the tiny road. In the rice plantations, lotus flowers are wide opened to see the sun rising.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Gumboot dance (from South Africa).
I know how to knit, but I can only make scarves. I can teach, but I'd love to learn more techniques!
I also like to discover new music artists and would enjoy sharing new sounds and rhythms!

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Canada, France, Spain, Switzerland

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belgium, Canada, France, Zambia
