Just back to Canada after nine months in France.

I love meeting new people and sharing experiences with each person I meet. I enjoy chatting over a glass of wine (or beer!) and wandering streets to discover hidden gems. I think that being open to new experiences and having an open heart, mind, and spirit is key to living fully.

I am keen on healthy eating and trying good local cuisine as well, I think that bonding over a meal is a wonderful experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people while I am travelling, to make new friends and learn about the places I visit the best way there is to learn - seeing it through a local's eyes.
