About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living a fulfilling and happy life.

ABOUT ME

I am an easygoing and happy person. My passions are traveling, working with children and learning languages (currently working on French, Italian, and Arabic).

I have never lived in one place for longer than 6 years, I'm always moving, always wanting to see new things.

Born in Switzerland and raised partially (from age 13) in Canada, I have my roots both in Europe and North America.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay true to yourself and everything will be the way it is supposed to be.

Today you are you, that is truer than true. There's no one else who is youer than you. -- Dr. Seuss

J'aime, je vis, entre les deux, je ris.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surfed through Europe in 2012 and 2013. Now it's my turn to return the favour!
I just moved into a new place where I can host, so I am looking forward to have guests and show people around Victoria.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have both surfed and hosted. Until now, I have had positive experiences only and I hope to continue the trend :). It has been wonderful to meet so many people from different areas of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The northern lights from my porch every winter growing up.
