ABOUT ME
(version française disponible sur demande :P)
Here are some interesting facts about myself:
I worked in a hospital as a medical lab technologist but I am now the full time mom of 2 wonderful kids.
I was born in Montreal and I truly think it's a great city to live in.
I've been vegetarian for the last 14 years.
I made my first trip oversea during summer 2007 and I loved it! I went to France, England and Switzerland, and I want to go back, too much to see! =)
I love the comfort of my home but I also love adventures and travels.
I am very impulsive but it can sometimes take me 20 minutes to decide what to eat at the restaurant.
I can be outgoing and crazy, but I can also be very shy and quiet.
Best of both worlds ;-)
PHILOSOPHY
"Don't cry because it's over but smile because it happened." I'm trying not to regret anything that happened to me because every little thing is an experience that made me who I am today.
"Cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it!"
"Aide-toi et le ciel t'aidera!"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am quite busy with the kids but if possible, it would be a pleasure for me to show you around and take you out for a drink or a meal. Unfortunatly, I can't host you for the moment though.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Thanks to Couchsurfing, I've been hosted in Liverpool during summer 2007 and I had an awesome time! :)
I also hosted my very first couchsurfers in March 2008 and it was a great experience!
Interests
I love a lot of stuff so it's hard for me to pick only a few of them. I am a thousand passion lady!
First of all, my children! Can't live without them!
Then music, movies, animals and travels are some of my main interests. Other than that, I also like camping, hiking (new!), swimming, walking, stars and rainbows as well as spending good times with my friends and family.
I like raspberries better than strawberries, most of the time.
I like singing in the shower and massaging the grass with my feet, but not all the time.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love watching movies... Tarrantino, Burton, Kubrick.
Here are some movies I would watch again and again : Big Fish, Kill Bill, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Nightmare before Christmas, Fight Club, Scarface, Gangs of New York, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, Reservoir Dogs, The Matrix, Baraka, Swing Kids, The Shawshank Redemption, Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers, Crazy, La Grande Séduction, Forrest Gump...
I love all kinds of music, but I'm mostly into rock and alternative. I'm also playing the clarinet and a bit of guitar (but not in front of people :P). I'm trying to learn swing dancing too!
I think books are a great way to travel! I won't list all my favorite novels here though because there is too many ;)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sounds "cliché" but so true: becoming a mother was the most wonderful experience that happened to me. It changed my life completely!
Teach, Learn, Share
This is the hardest part because I know we all have a little something we can teach but we're rarely aware of it because it's just like.. usual for us.
Well first thing I know I can teach you French! ;)
