About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get people to see Montreal and its awesomeness and get myself all around the planet!

ABOUT ME

I am dynamic, social and I enjoy meeting new people from different cultures! I'm always jovial and easy going. I never plan much activities in advance, I'd rather live it day by day and keep a soft smile on my face. I haven't traveled much yet but the little I did just gave me a taste for it that will never leave me. To be in another place with people from other cultures is an experience that opens your mind. My first big trip was in summer 2010, when I went to Guatemala for 40 days.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is to be lived and everyone has the time, you just need to take it. When I die I want to say "What a ride" not "I should have". The more you see of the world the more you understand it and yourself and yet there is always more to see and learn! As Socrates said "The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm willing to host couchsurfers in my apartment in Montreal or just go for coffee and chat or anything. I'm highly motivated and I definitely want to participate in this community! I want to help people have a feel of this city and I want to meet travelers and listen to what they have to say.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosting people for some time now and have had only positive experiences until now. I'm confident it will remain this way! As for surfing, I haven't done it much yet but the little I did was wonderful.
