Hi!
I am Laurie and i'm from Paris in France (But I live for 2 years and a half in Montréal in Canada).

I'm just a girl really open-mind who enjoy the life as much as possible. After many trips in different countries I have discovered that what I love the most is exchange with people from around the world. Also, as a hiker, I love a lot nature and animals.

Mutual support and solidarity are importants values for me. Be present to others people, and maybe make a little difference somewhere. So I am for respect and tolerance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think this is the most beautiful way to travel. Meet people in their own culture. that's the real wealth of traveling.

Being in contact with others people and socialize !

I already did a lot of couchsurfing during my own trips (without be on the website), it is always a wonderfull time. I met so many incredible people that gave me so much and changed my life. So, I wanted to be on the website to be in touch with this community.
