My name is Ode and I'm from the french part of Canada (the province of Québec!!). I really love travelling all around the world and meet people. I describe myself as easy going and open minded.

I travel alone most of the time, so couchsurfing is perfect for me, to meet locals and discover the country with the real people and not the touristic stereotypes.

Actually, I am doing an exchange program with my university so I am studying in Belgium for a year.

I am involved socially and politically, I am interested in everything, I like talking (and listening) about literally any subjects (culture, movies, sports, politics, fashion, music, etc etc etc...)
I am a vegetarian for 5 years (I like cooking!) and I play music (percussions, piano and harmonica). I speak French, but I also want to practice my English and my Spanish (me encanta el español!) and I would like to learn a lot of other languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I visit a city or a country, I think that the best way to really understand people, cultures is to be WITH the people, to live with them.

I did it in Cuba (when I was host by a family in Santa Clara) and in Ecuador (by an extraordinary family in the mountains), and that was my favourites journeys.

Also, I travel alone most of the time, so couchsurfing is perfect for me, to meet locals and discover the country with the real people and not the touristic stereotypes.
