Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've started three years ago and explored eastern Canada a little before getting here to study. I haven't really couchsurfed since but am always ready to do it, and once I get installed with my girl-friend and have a nice cozy home and loads of babies (where ever that'll take place), I will also host.

But of course, I offer my room in Montreal to people who accommodated me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Toronto, Montréal, and Québec-City and it was hilarious! Now, I am living and working in Montréal and my hosts have become really close friends. I always encourage people to couchsurf as it is the best way to travel and learn.

arts (contemporary as well as traditional), cinema (the artsy one), good literature and movies, nature, existentialist matters, history, politics (I know people often hate it)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not sure if it is that amazing, but when I turned 18 I interrupted school and went to France by myself to learn the language and work at a farm.

Teach, Learn, Share

each one teach one, however, I prefer when people don't lecture each other too much

What I Can Share with Hosts

good conversation on arts, culture, history, philosophy, travel experience, a.s.o.

not to share but to offer in exchange: my room close to downtown Montreal, QC, in an apartment I share with three really awesome international people (french, cuban, and canadian-german-iranian)
