About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm fun (or try to be at least), adventurous, love all outdoors activities, love travelling and exploring new places, and especially meeting new people! When I travel, I like to get to know the local culture and interact with the locals, but it is also very fun to meet travelers from all over the world.

I studied in Outdoors Intervention in Chicoutimi, Quebec, and several years later reconverted myself as a Web Developer, which allows me to also take time off to spend time outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing is a great way to meet like-minded people who are open-minded and fun (the best part of traveling, in my opinion), while helping with the budget, obviously.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2022 I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, 4200km of trail in the western US, from the Canadian to the Mexican border. It was an incredible experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about the French Canadian culture and a little about all the countries I've visited.
I can share (and especially want to learn) about healthy foods, exercise, yoga and acroyoga, meditation, web development, online businesses, slackline and highline, music, investing, outdoor sports, travelling, exercising and MANY others.
I will gladly share many fun stories, and listen to all of yours.
Mostly I like to learn anything.
