About Me

ABOUT ME

Global citizen who jumps from one capital to another, from an airport to a trainstation, which is from everywhere and from nowhere in particular, it’s in Montreal that I decided to put down my bags. I love living in this vibrant city and experienced all that it has to offer – great food, great people and endless festivals.

I was born in France and moved to Montreal for my studies some times ago and that was the starting point of a wolrdwide adventure. I hope that this experience is going to give me the opportunity to meet valuable people.

PHILOSOPHY

We only have one life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Still negotiating with my roommate to host CSurfers, I can have a large 3 seats sofa in my living room in case he gives me a go. If not, I would be available around a drink or to show you the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first created a profile 2 years ago. I sadly never could use it as my boss canceled my vacations a few weeks before. Went to grad school afterwards and didn't have time to travel neither to host people. Now that I'm done with my studies, I want to catch up and fully participate to CS whenever I can.
