Overview
About Me
Hi there dear couchsurfer! Glad you stumbled on my profile. I'm an easy-going 22 year old, born and raised in Montreal, ready to hit your city.
I'm a quiet, friendly and empathetic person who thrives on people's good energies and connections.
Currently in uni, switching from a BA in communications to a BA in Urban planning at Université de Montréal starting next fall. I work at a busy thrift store in Montreal, where I get to contribute to the whole textile recycling movement every day.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
ISO new friends! I want you to show me around! : - ) I really do believe it's the most rewarding part of my travels. Creating new connections and getting to know a city by getting to know its citizens. It's such an easy and quick way to connect, plus it reminds me how good people can be.

I have this weird obsession with old desolate industrial warehouse areas. Is there one in your town? Take me there!

Music, Movies, and Books
very much a fan of good old pop music and dancey-electronics.
Last good readings : The Lonely City (Olivia Laing), Call me by your name (André Aciman).
Will always prefer 2000's teen movies to any other genre of film, not even a guilty pleasure, 100% owning it.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Leave town for a four-week solo trip across western USA, all the way from LA to Vancouver, using only buses and trains to get around. Loved every second of it! Seeing Beyoncé live in concert was not too bad too.
I also got to spend an afternoon in the Couchsurfing HQ in San Francisco with my host Alejandro, made me very much feel a part of the community!
