About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be inspired by life, and the people we meet along the way

ABOUT ME

I've been residing in Montreal since November. I just got back from an awesome trip to Vancouver via New York, Chicago, Portland & Seattle. I'm a very musical person. I can't wait for summer...riding my bicycle to vegan picnics in the park involving lots of singing and playing are some of my favorite things! I will be able to point fellow vegatarians and vegans to the best restaurants in the city and can also cook a great vegan meal.

I started this profile with Lila. When you combine Lila and Nicola, you get Licola. We traveled across Europe together for 3 months before we went our separate ways.

Lila has started her own profile (Beaubien).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've done a lot of surfing, I'm available for hosting, I have joined some groups, contributed to the discussions & donated to this wonderful project.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had nothing but amazing couchsurfing hosts all over Europe & recently in Brooklyn, Chicago, Portland & Seattle. The experiences I shared with the people I met and the memories they gave me are more precious to me than any sight or attraction I've seen. I really wouldn't want to do it any other way.

Interests

Playing music, VEGAN cooking!, EATING, ART, photography (especially polaroids), collecting records and old cameras, Voyaging, learning new languages, hugging, making people smile, DANCING!, making sound, forgetting there's a tomorrow.
