Hello! I'm Momo.

I have a passion for backpacking and all the adventure that surrounds it. I have traveled to several countries over the past few years and I can say that what I've learned has positively contributed to my personal growth.

I'm a very outgoing and confident person and I will always find a way to have fun in any situation.

I speak, write and read French, English and Arabic. I am currently learning Spanish.

I was born in Montreal and I know my city very well.

Favorite sayings are :
- You wanna smoke a joint together???
- This is the best shisha I've ever had!
- Peace, love and big hugs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To me, backpacking is all about going out of the beaten path and learning about myself and others. But we are never solo when we're solo traveling. Backpackers are community people after all. We always end up getting help when we need it as well as helping others, and we are very pleased to do so.
Couchsurfing is an awesome community of travelers because you can easily give back to the community and stay connected to it, even when you are not traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

YO I WENT TO THE RIO CARNIVAL!!!! It was crazy fun.
I also rescued two dogs.

One less amazing thing I've done :
I applied and got hired for a volunteering job in the wrong country by mistake and realized it the day I was getting my stuff ready to be on my way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very sociable, curious and a storyteller. I have so many stories to tell and I am very interested in hearing the stories of the people I meet. I’m not talkative all the time, but when I’m really interested in something, I get in the conversation like if I swallowed a radio (Arabic expression that means you are talking too much).

Anything you'd like to teach me, I will thank you for.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can happily help with any projects you have, but most of all, I will make sure we share a great time together.
(+ I can introduce you to the art of cooking Lebanese food).

I love my city and I know it very well. If you ever come to visit Montreal, I will help you get the best out of it.

Also, I can see a heart in every point of light. I will show you how when we meet ;)
