Hi, I'm Marie a Canadian exchange student in Strasbourg. I am a very motivated and happy individual who is always ready for an adventure. Being my first time on European soil I am very excited !! I can be really funny to hang out with and Im also very social. I like to do my own things, but I also like to discover a new town with a local and its little cool places.I love to learn and try new things because I've found that this leads to unbelievable experiences which in turn makes one a unique person. One of my favorite mantra is "You don’t choose a life, you live one" it's so simple yet so true!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to join the big family of Couchsurfing to learn a little more about others and their travel experiences. This is a huge opportunity for me to be able to travel and meet people and learn about their culture.
