I'm a francophone from Montréal (Laval to be precise). I spent most of my adult life in Sherbrooke, then Québec and now Ottawa. Écrivez-moi en français si vous voulez :)

I love to SCUBA dive, bike (road), rock climb (only indoor atm), hike, ski (downhill) and snowshoe.

I've travelled to Slovakia, France, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Costa Rica, Hawaii and the continental US.

My favorite trip was diving in Hawaii!!

My next trip is autonomous camping/hiking in Utah!

I've spent was too many years in school learning medicine and am almost done finishing my third specialty in Ottawa!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet passionate travelers in my community and abroad. I want to make new friends and participate in new experiences. I want buddies to bike and dive in Ottawa and people to have over to share my passions with.

I wish to meet wonderful people overseas.

Teach, Learn, Share

The day I stop being interested in learning anything and everything is the day I die (or become stupid) ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a small 600 sqft apartment (1 bedroom). There is ample room in the living room for you to sleep in. I have an inflatable double bed that can be used. If you are 4ft tall you could fit on the couch, but it's not recommended. I'm right by the big Ottawa bus station so you can get anywhere in the city easily.

We are in Canada's capital. It's absolutely beautiful but is missing the life of Montréal. The good thing is when you come here we will go out, we'll rent you a bike, we'll go on the canal, I'll show you the best bagel place (in the world). You'll tell me your travel stories and I'll listen bright eyed.

Hopefully later I'll come and visit you and we'll have all these wonderful stories that will grow with us.
