About Me

I come from a very small town in Quebec with lots of farms. It was nice but I really am a city person. That is probably why I've lived in Montreal for the past 14 years.

I have been a student for way too long. I can't help it, that is what I like to do. I just want to keep learning and discovering new things! I'm currently working on a Ph. D. in political science on animal liberation.

The rest of the time, I work at many different places (fruits/vegetables/plants/flowers market, teaching assistant, research assistant...) at the same time to pay the bills and my next trip.

If there is time left, I go out with some friends and try to discover new weird restaurants and pubs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing because there is more to traveling that going somewhere, it is also about meeting people. I've met amazing individuals using this website.

I would also like to point out that CS is not free accommodation. It is about sharing and helping each other. Please do not send a request if you plan on being on your own the whole time.

Interests

I like to talk about politics (any politics), the environment, veganism (I'm vegan), history, books, other cultures or anything else, as long as it is interesting and it is done in a respectful way.
I obviously love to travel.
I'm also a huge fan of bikes. It just sad that we have so much snow in winter here.
I like to try as many kind of beers as possible. That is why I love to show people all the nice little pubs in Montreal that brew their own beer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having a beer in pub that is under a railroad in Wrocław. Every 10 minutes, the whole pub shakes. It was great.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lot of about the history and culture of Quebec as well as of Montreal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook some pretty good vegan food and I can also probably fix your computer. ;-)
