Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always interested in meeting new people, whether it be for coffee and a chat, or an activity that requires more time and planning.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started using CS several years ago, and have stayed with other CS members while traveling through Europe, Canada, and the United States.

While I have hosted several surfers with my partner, my current living situation doesn't allow me to host. When this becomes possible, I would love to give back to the community that has helped me so graciously!

I recently moved from Santiago de Compostela to Montreal, and am hoping to connect with the CS community here! I am looking forward to all of the new faces and places this upcoming year holds. CS has connected me to many wonderful people from all corners.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: mostly indie, folk, rock... But can get into and appreciate almost any style. I love listening to lyrics in other languages, and music from other cultures.

Movies: again, I can appreciate almost any genre of film. I can also Netflix and chill pretty hard.

Books: I'm usually reading something! Favorite authors include David Foenkinos and José Saramago. Harry Potter forever ruined my literary sagesse. I have been and always will be a HP fan at my very core.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've accomplished several long-distance hikes, including the Camino Francés, del Norte, Portugués, Primitivo and 1,500km on the Appalachian Trail.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always hope to offer the best of me and have a positive impact on the places that I go, and the people that I cross paths with.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, laughs, drinks, food, my culture and language... A recipe for a good time!
