About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to discover other countries and ways of life...

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27yo girl who wants to discover the world, particularly Noth America and Europe for the moment... Since I have seen "The Horse Whisperer" I dream of the United States, more precisely Montana etc... I love huge landscapes! But I also fell in love with New York City and San Francisco. Now, I came back from a 1-and-something-year trip in Canada with a Working Holiday Visa and I already miss that, since I'm back in France for almost one year :'( . I really enjoyed travelling across the country and meeting lots of people. Will come back!

I am a true animal and nature lover. Also, I am vegetarian.

Even though I love meeting new people, I feel always more comfy with just a few ones than in a big group :).

I love a lot of different things... yeah, can say I'm a kind of contradictory human being :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mainly surfing, cos I rented a small appartment in Montréal with only one bed -hosting my (CS) friends was OK lol, now I'm back in France, live at my parents'... But I keep on meeting people, and try to go to the CS meetings!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in St Louis, Missouri. It was amazing, I met very cool and open-minded people, thanks to my host :) My host helped me while I was a bit lost, before coming back to France, it was my first trip alone :)!

Then, I surfed in many places in Canada and the US: Vancouver, San Francisco and Los Angeles during September 2011. St John's, Moncton, Sydney (Canada), Saskatoon, Toronto etc in 2012. Always great moments!
In may 2012 I hosted 2 of my friends I met via Couchsurfing: Megan and Charlotte, in Montreal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking pictures of the Statue of Liberty (NYC) during a thunder storm evening was an amazing experience!
Travelling from Montreal (QC) to Whitehorse (Yk) by bus (4days and a half) was awesome! Seeing black bears and Northern lights in Yukon...
This year, I travelled across Newfoundland, hitchhiking with a friend around the island, an incredible experience in a wonderful province! I did the same from Toronto to Saskatchewan with one of my bestfriends, it was just amazing, then once in Saskatchewan, we spent one month helping in a ranch!

+ Feeding raccoons in Montreal :)

Teach, Learn, Share
