About Me

I'm a student in civil engineering from Montreal, Canada looking to meet new people and discover places.

I just moved to California, East Bay, last week!Still trying to figure out housing for myself, so can't host at the moment

I love to travel and am always looking for a new adventure, the most improbable and crazy, the better! and I like to dance and bootyshake on old school beats to keep my spirits up

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couchsurfing. I've had a brief amazing experience through a friend when I was in Berlin and it provided me with a totally different experience than I would have had as a tourist in a hostel.
I really enjoy travelling and meeting new people, and I realized that couchsurfing is the best way to do that.
