Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Explore new cultures, new people, different food. Sharing my passion for the outdoor. Be self-sufficient and live a healthy lifestyle.
ABOUT ME
I moved to a ski resort (Whistler,BC) to the opposite side of my country when I was 18 to go snowboarding and make money. Didn't make much money but made incredible memories. I left home on my own and learn about life and how be independent. I've worked in kitchens for 7 years and then got a diploma in culinary. Since then I've met so many good friends and had crazy adventures. I love the mountains and their calm. I also like the beach and trying my best at surfing when I can. I like practicing yoga and meditation.
I've been sharing my apartment with people around the world and made some awesome friend. I know what's it means to be a Host. I'm clean, respectful of personal space and keen on any activity that arise. I love to cook for my host and do the dishes. I will also bring beers, coffee or tea :)
I love to cook for people. Thai food, Indian food, Asian food, comfort food and anything that taste good. For environmental and ethical reason I now try to go as vegetarian as possible. Get the organic if it's not crazy expensive.
PHILOSOPHY
Never do something you don't want to be done to you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've receive a family of 2 in my house. A mom and her child. That was a really cool experience. The kid is almost a pro skier at 8 years old and her mom was really supportive.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Been in hawaii for 11 days and had a couch for 5 days at Alysia's place. She was so kind, she even picked us at the airport! She made the whole experience so much more pleasant!
Interests
I just love the fact of being outdoor in nature. Discovering amazing scenery after hiking and having a good meal on top is what I love most. I like camping so much I even do in in the winter. I like to build fire and do some chop wood with an axe. I've been doing more and more backcountry through Splitboarding.
I'm a beginner at rock-climbing
