Bonjour je m’appelle Laurence! I’m French-Canadian and I currently live in Gatineau (QC) which is across the river of Ottawa, Canada’s capital city.

I am a young professional currently working at the department of Employment, Social development Canada at the Government of Canada. I hold 3 degrees from the university of Ottawa : a Licence in Civil law (LL.L -2016), a honour Bachelor in Social sciences specialized in International development and Globalization (B.Soc.sci -2016) and a Juris Doctor (JD-2017).

I am a very sociable and respectful person. I enjoy any interaction and love being immersed in local culture. I’ve had the opportunity to travel in Central and North America, Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia.

Fun fact: I am a certified advanced PADI open water diver. I dove in Malaysia, Turks and Caicos and in the Bahamas. I was lucky to see a Hammerhead shark!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To be honest, I never realized I subscribed in August 2013. It is actually my first time getting acquainted with Couchsurfing (sept. 2018). I am thrilled by the amazing host profiles and great surfers’ reviews! I am looking forward to travel with Couchsurfing and discover city’s, local culture and share stories :) . I will be travelling in Europe in the coming weeks. I hope to find a someone to host my and my amazing friend Danika (who you can see in my pictures at many occasions) in Brussels and Malta.
