My name is Laurie, I grew up in Quebec City (Canada) where I completed my Master's and Bachelor's degrees.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always enjoyed traveling in different ways; I've done backpacking trips, business trips, stayed in hotels, hostels and guest houses, but I never had the couch surfing experience and thought it was about time to try! My friend has been on this site for years and told me how great the experiences were, so I thought I'd give it a try. To me it's not about saving money, it's about gaining experiences and creating memories!

Interests

I enjoy
- Sports : Longboarding, snowboarding, surfing and trampoline (never underestimate a good trampoline session). Would love to try stand up paddle boarding too!
- Reading, watching documentaries and learning
- Traveling (of course): My favorite continent is Asia but I must say the food in Europe is unbeatable

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to a broad range of music, from alternative, to rock to pop. My favorite bands would be Tegan & Sara, Milky Chance, Empire of the Sun, Paramore and MGMT.

Books: I love business-related books, but won't say no to a good biography or drama !

Movies: Nothing fancy; popular comedies, dramas, documentaries and action movies are good for me!
