I've lived in Moncton, Ottawa, Quebec City, Lyon (France), Montreal, and now Toronto! I prefer Montreal of all those Canadian cities, but Toronto is alright. It grows on you, like a fungus.

I'm outspoken and I like to make people laugh; I don't take myself very seriously. Though we probably won't get along if you're not open-minded and accepting (e.g., queer-friendly, feminist). I'm naturally calm, but, with the right people, bring on the crazy adventures! I like little hats, authenticity and honesty, and fun. :) I also adore animals, so if you have any pets, I will be delighted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel much more than I have; and as everyone here must say, meet new people. Because people are lovely. And see new places (culture; art, architecture, food, nature!)

Interests

My favourite things are drinking wine and beer, cooking/baking, reading, roller coasters, board games, horseback riding, puns, and engaging conversation.

My idea of FUN when travelling include day-time activities such as visiting museums and historic sites, nature hikes, and dinning; and night-time activities such as drinking at a pub in good company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went skydiving this past summer! Best. Experience. Of life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love baking, so I can share a few of my recipes or bake for/with you!

If you want to practice your French, I'm also the right person for that. I can teach you how to curse (...SO practical for everyday use!).

I have a bunch of crazy stories to share over wine or beer. ;)

You can basically ask me any question about human sexuality (especially sexual orientation and gender identity).
