Overview
About Me
I grew up in a small French town in the province of Quebec, Canada, and I have now been living in Montreal for almost 10 years. I used to be a counsellor (social work/sexology) and I recycled in Law with the goal of using both professions to become a family lawyer.
I have just finished my last semester, on exchange in Melbourne, Australia, and I'm planning a final trip before practicing. Back home, I live with my partner Matthew, and although I miss him very much, I am excited to travel for a month in South East Asia (Nov 12 - Dec 12) and meet new incredible people!
I like to make things simple, I am very low maintenance, and I generally enjoy down time in the nature more than the city life. My favourite place on earth is a shack in the middle of the forest, where I grew up, and where there is no TV, cellphone signal, and wifi... only nature, people, and peace.
Although it has never been a problem in my past experiences, it may be worth mentioning that I am gay, so I'm more comfortable in a LGBT-friendly environments.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Being part of a sharing community like Couchsurfing is just very much in line with my values. I also enjoy meeting new people and their reality... everyone has a story worthy of sharing!
Interests
During the summer in my down time, I mostly just bike or hike everywhere and hang out in parks. I also enjoy trying new cheap restaurants, reading, going out. I am a big fan of volleyball, so I'd be more than happy to play while I travel!
