CURRENT MISSION

Be inspired by the people I meet. Contributing to making the world a better place.

ABOUT ME

22 year-old French-Canadian girl from Montreal, QC. I am studying Gender Studies and Politics at McGill University (Canada). I am a feminist, tree hugger, coffee lover and dreamer who loves traveling, experiencing new things, and meeting new people.

I speak French, English, and a little bit of Spanish, Italian and German. I learned a little bit of Hebrew and Serbian while traveling - would love to learn more! I love languages and culture, so if you are a traveler willing to share your experiences with me, I'm in!

I am open-minded, I believe in gender equality and I am committed to making the world a better place. I love our planet, and believe that it is our duty to take care of our environment, it is precious. I try really hard to be a good ally to First Peoples. I am passionate about feminism, activism, sustainability, yoga, and traveling.

My first experience with couchsurfing was in New Zealand, in April 2014. I had the best time, and met such incredible people and had such a good experience that I really want to give back to the community and spread the love.

PHILOSOPHY

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
