About Me

Hello! I am a Canadian student currently studying abroad for one year in Munich, Germany. I come from Montreal (the French part of Canada) so I am perfectly bilingual in French and English. I love meeting new people, discovering new cultures and travelling. I am always up to experiment with cooking and I'd love to make a nice homemade dinner for my hosts. Some of my favourite activities include hiking, reading, engaging with a city's cultural life and biking around town. I have always been a very curious as well as critical person. I always want to learn more about alternative cultures and alternative ways of living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of getting to know people who know the culture best. I am always up for an interesting conversation or morning chat. I also like pushing my own limits because it allows me to grow as a person and have many beautiful and crazy new experiences. I also believe most people on this planet are good and this is why I would love to meet people via Couchsurfing and possibly learn something completely new about myself through them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I just finished reading The Eight Mountains by Paolo Cognetti. I am now reading essays about feminist issues and theories aha -wildly entertaining AND mind-blowing. Also reading Dubliners by James Joyce because I just came back from Dublin and am inspired by its literary past (and present).
Some of my favourite artists/bands are Metric, Nujabes, Manu Chao, Mura Masa, A Tribe Called Quest, MGMT, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-This is not per se something I've done, but once someone threw a dead octopus at my face.
-I founded and co-hosted a hip-hop radio show.
-I spray painted my student residence at 5 am haha
-Travelled to Berlin for 3 days and slept 4 hours total
