About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find my way

ABOUT ME

Imagination and books can get you everywhere and beyond, but sometimes reality can be even better. I'm curious, very curious. I ask a lot of questions, all kinds, existential, stupid or funny. I believe the best way to make friends is to listen truly, openly and with compassion, and to share food. I'm not good at keeping in contact or remembering names, but I will remember you, your face, your voice and how we met 10 years later, and if you called me for a favor then, I would be glad to help you.

PHILOSOPHY

Vivre et laisser vivre

Live and let live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still living with my parents, so I can't host. BUT, I can refer you to my mother, who is wonderful. When I get my own place, I will definitely be hosting. Until then, I try to help my mother's gests when we cross path, offer some advice about Montreal, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My mother and I discovered Couchsurfing while traveling together in South East Asia. We tried it a couple of times there and loved it. My mother started hosting when we got back and hasn't stop since then. She hosted more than a 400 people over the past 4 years. I used couchsurfing a few times in Europe summer of 2013. Unfortunately, I have had bad experiences with male hosts and became weary of using the website. My mom has also had had enough and is taking a break at the moment. That being said, I still beleive in the idea behind this website and honor every person who still generously opens their door to fellow human beings in need.

Interests

I love traveling, but that is obvious.

I love food, eating, cooking, learning new recipes, etc.
I love reading. I study literature actually.
I love dancing, swimming, climbing, biking, skiing, snowboarding, etc.
I love arts, all kinds, music, paintings, cinema, photography, etc.
I LOVE scuba diving!
I love my hometown, it's great :)
