I've lived in Vancouver since I was 4, and love travelling. I was always jealous of kids who moved around a lot with their families, but I realize now that maybe I was lucky. I also am a very naturally curious person, and love learning from others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love anything that's geniune, local and real. So it could be as simple as playing frisbee to walking around the best attractions in a town :)

As for couches: I don't have my own yet, but as soon as I do, it will be open for surfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a couple great experiences with couchsurfing as a way to meet amazing people, get a real relationship with a city, and have fun in town. Meeting people is my favourite part of travelling!

Interests

Liking something on everyone's playlist. Picking the tastiest thing on a menu. Mario Kart. Making people feel less awkward. Finishing books in a couple of days. Burning food. Overlooking the small details. Finding my way around. Summarizing things.

• books
• dining
• walking
• traveling
• socializing
• surfing
• language exchange

Music, Movies, and Books

Cartoons, comedy and French films. Nothing specific comes to mind, though.

Some movies that changed my life are:

Fight Club
Kung Fu Panda
The Green Mile

And yes I know it's a strange combination...

Music:
There's a good chance I'll find something I like on every playlist. I like French pop music, top 40 once in a while, indie Canadian rock bands, and a lot of artists from the 70s (Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, CCR, Santana).

Books: Too many to list. I recently read 100 years of solitude, and I'd like to read Love in the Times of Cholera in Spanish someday. I really like Oscar Wilde, Frank McCourt and who doesn't love JK Rowling!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about the randomest crap from people, but my special interests are language exchanges and talking about travel stories. As for things I can teach...English is my maternal language if you'd like to practice, and I taught a kid's karate class for years so I can show you some basic self defense too.
