About Me

Please read "my home" section before sending a request.

CURRENT MISSION

Mental health. I've pivoted my career towards community non-profits with a mission to break the isolation of people struggling with their mental health. In this post-pandemic world, it concerns close to 50% of the population.

ABOUT ME

Ex- digital nomad.
After one year in Spain, 3 months in San Francisco, and some time in Lyon, I'm now living in Québec with 2 kids and 2 cats!
BTW: babies do NOT stop you from traveling and hiking.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't call it a dream. Call it a plan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Events & hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've heard of CouchSurfing by my cousin who traveled through Europe during one summer, and an inspiring friend who realized a "World Poker Trip" an wrote a book about his experience.
I love meeting people from everywhere and travel the world in my own city.
Oh, and I visited Couchsurfing office in San Francisco: they have a swing IN the office!!!

To know more about my experiences, I think you can read the reviews. :)
