My name is Virginie. I love traveling and one of my biggest interests is classic films. Although I'm from Montreal, I'm currently doing a Master in Cinema Studies at Stockholm University in Sweden.

I wrote articles on my blogs The Wonderful World of Cinema and Three Enchanting Ladies.

My first language is French, but I speaks English quite well too!

I can say some words in German, but not enough for a very deep conversation!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think being host by locals is probably more interesting than staying in an hotel.

I don't accept guests for the moment, but that's because I'm not living in my own place. But that would probably change one day!

If you're around and wish to meet for a coffee or would like to visit some place we can always arrange things! If you're a cool, curious and friendly person, I think we can have a great time!
