CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying beautiful Holland & Europe while living in Amsterdam :-)

ABOUT ME

French-Canadian from Montreal living in Amsterdam. Open-minded, passionate about other cultures, also always willing to meet new people and learn from them. I am having an affair with Amsterdam ;), and to share my love for this beautiful 'big village' has become a true hobby. Arts, especially photography inspire me, and nothing makes me happier than enjoying tasty creative food with wonderful people. I live to discover new ways of thinking and doing. Nothing makes me feel more alive than being lost in a crazy chaotic city, confronted to a culture that is not mine. Although I have traveled to more than 40 countries and that I see myself living abroad for a while (forever?), I am extremely proud of where I come from!

PHILOSOPHY

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, hosting is quite difficult for me at the moment, but I am willing to meet and show you what makes this city so special and teach you a bit (a lot!) about Dutch culture. We can go to the museum, we can go for a run along the Amstel river, or we might even end up dancing all night long ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to couch surfing, I have had only a couple of surfing experiences, but they all turned out to be enriching.

Interests

Creative food & tasty wine, music festivals, various kinds of art especially photography, going to the theater, visiting museums, diving and anything related to the sea, running/marathons, learning about new cultures. Play piano for me, and I will be your biggest fan :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

A good movie/book makes me cry, makes me smile, makes me think. Do I really need to pick one ?!?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping with a family, next to cows, in a small village on top of a mountain in Laos. Moving to Amsterdam spontaneously and living the expat life i.e. adapting to another culture. Sharing a meal with families in Indonesia, Thailand, Israel, and many other places. I have been in various priceless situations while traveling that involved good food or music and I believe they bring people together. I think we could resolve great conflicts by putting rivals around a table full of yummy food....

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to meet anyone who's got something to say! People with a passion, a vision... Most importantly, HAPPY people! I want to know about your culture!
