About Me

I am from Montreal but I presently live in Nelson BC.

CURRENT MISSION

" May there be more forests to grow people"
By changing ourselves, we participate to change the world ! :)

ABOUT ME

Je suis une écolo-cycliste-adepte de plein air qui trippe sur l'éducation à l'environnement, les marchés fermiers et la bière de microbrasserie !
__________________________________________________
I'm an energic- positive-dreamer-activist-sportive-smily person !
I'm also a very simple and flexible traveler and I'm easygoing with new people. I'm a morning person...I like to walk around in cities, especially in the morning and just observe activities starting.
I love markets, clotheslines , coffee & news paper moments, bicycle rides, and skillshares !

PHILOSOPHY

" Happiness is when what you think, what you do and what you say are in harmony' -Mohandas Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the moment, I move a lot so I cannot host really often...but I will do it with pleasure when I will have my own place. I surf when I visit other countries or parts of Canada.
I love couchsurfing because it's way more interesting to hang out with locals and get to know the culture & new people, than to be in a hostel ! I believe in alternative & ecofriendly travelling, and I like to discuss with hosts & other travelers about their thoughts & experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
All positive ! Most people that use couch surfing have really good intentions. I couchsurfed in different countries and it went well !
