ABOUT ME

Hello couchsurfing community!

I am 27 years who kept an early adolescence heart who took the decision last year to set everything aside (school, work, car, leisure) and to travel through Central America. I have in my head a lot of project and in my heart and a lot of dreams that I want to accomplish. I want to learn guitar, cooking vegetarian dishes, learn English and Spanish and meet people of different nationalities. Actually, I work on projects like therapy by nature and adventure.

I'm very curious, open-minded and willing to work to achieve my goals. I'm athletic, I like yoga, meditation, nature, travelling and I'm also a lover of Quebec and good beers. I did a Tree planting season last year to finance my trip, it was a very good experience! I took a brake on several levels, I put my studies aside in psychoeducation and my job as an addictions counselor for teenagers.

I made a few short trips in my life in company of great friends and I want to Guatemala and Nicarague alone where I get the chance to experiment couchsurfing. Now, I'm in Peru and I want to be closer of the culture, I want to know the reals spots in each town and to taste local food. I think Couchsurfing will be a good experience.

I hope to meet you in this crazy adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think that my treeplanting season is one of the amazing thing that I've done.
It was difficult physically but more mentally. I had to constantly persevere on not giving up and come back to the present. I met a bunch of people but also a lot of dreams that accompanied them, it was inspiring.

Then, I travelled around Central America while 4 months, specifically in Guatemala and Nicaragua, it was one of the most important thing that I have done in my life, I learned so much about the Mayan culture and I met so many people that changed my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French, talk about meditation and my experience about therapist by adventure.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can land a hand to help in anyway possible. Share my knowledge about spiritually and all the leisure that I cherish (music, beer, foods, etc.).
