CURRENT MISSION
Finding my next destination :-)
ABOUT ME
I will very soon be graduating with an engineering degree. I was born in Montreal and lived here all my life, apart for a student-exchange in Paris, which was awesome. I look forward to travel a lot more in the future, but I've already seen quite a lot and I feel lucky about that.
PHILOSOPHY
"And in the end, the love you take,
Is equal to the love... you make"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
First off, I'll try to fill up my profile as much as I can and try to meet with some people.
As soon as I'll get back home in Canada and settle my appartment I'll try to have a couch available!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I tried a couple of times to couch surf but it was a bit last-minute and didn't work out. I still wasn't able to host anybody but that will change very soon I hope as I will be moving in my own appartment.
However, while I was in Paris I participated in a CS bicycle rallye around town and it was a great day! I did get to meet very nice people and had an excellent time!
