Hey! My name is Laurent, but you can call me CHICHI as well, an ´official’ nickname if that’s easier! 😊 I’m an artist and teacher from Montreal, Canada.

French is my native language, English my second! I like to travel and meet nice humans along the way.

I’m interested in too many things, espcially anything culture/art related, travel, cooking, do-it-yourself, extreme sports, subcultures, rabbit holes, sociopolitics, etc etc. I’ve been travelling every year to a few times a year whenever I can.

Nice to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a fun way to travel and meet people sharing interests and a curiosity of others. Looking forward meeting you :))
Bien sûr, je parle français aussi!
