CURRENT MISSION

I'm looking for people that will make me discover and learn more about the World and about myself.

ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm 25 years old, just recently finished university and I'm actually travelling on the west coast of USA and Canada. :)

I love meeting new people, discover new artists, and hang out in different and cool places. Oh, and I LOVE food too! I'm a lot into music, culture, communications and networking. I'm very curious so I read a lot blogs about arts, communications as well as movies and politics.

I stayed in appartment with people from different countries in the last years and I loved that. We actually call my appartment a "youth hostel" so I used to welcome lot of friends (and friends of friends...) that were in transit, going on travels or coming back in town.

I'm in a wheelchair so traveling in a new city can be quite a challenge but I manage it! I can walk with a cane and climb up stairs if needed so it makes it easier to find places to stay. But still, my lovely host has to share that difficulty with me cause I need help. It's not that hard but it's a "responsibility" that I want people to be aware of.

Finally, traveling is big a challenge but creates a lot of empowerment for me :)

PHILOSOPHY

I think that the more experience you live, the more you learn about people, the world and yourself, and the more you can be a better person. Traveling is a way of combine all these elements and see what we can get from it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I'm participating by traveling... but as soon as I get home it'll be with pleasure that I'll offer my couch, time and love for my city with other travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a new born in the Couch Surfing community and had my first couch surfing experience last week in Santa Barbara, California, and it was AMAZING. Discovered places, met people and had a great time. Wish to experience it again in other cities!

Interests

I love meeting new people, discover new artists and places. I'm into arts and culture -music, movies, architecture, visual and performing arts, etc. But also History, museums, nature, politics. I love talking with people about their lives and the city and country where they live.
