Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's nothing like the human side of travelling. It means a lot to me to get to know places through a local point of view.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing a 365 days photography challenge with a friend, implying to take one good picture a day for a year. Through this challenge, I learned how to better use my camera (with a lot of help from internet blogs on photography!). I am really pround both of us stuck with our objective!

Also, taking part in beluga health monitoring in the canadian arctic has been a life changing adventure, culturally and professionnally. I literaly fell in love with this part of the world, community members as well as the scientists all working together to preserve this fragile ecosystem.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It is always a pleasure to share some of my french canadian culture with the rest of the world! it is hard to reproduce a real poutine without the proper ingredients, but I can always try ;) Sheperd's pie is another option, I can also make a vegetarian modification of it!
