Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Do the Oz!
ABOUT ME
University student (in French literature, more precisely theatre.)
Doing my PhD (starting to write the thesis, it's gonna be a long journey!), but still getting out of town if I can!
I have never been too good at describing myself , but I guess I juste like to meet people, finding out about other cultures, while trying to take life as it goes, not too seriously, while it's still possible !
PHILOSOPHY
I don't really have "a" philosophy...I guess it's just about living and enjoying life as much as we can, isn't it ?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Try to meet new people, tell my friends about CS, keep the eyes and mind open.
Hosting is a bit difficult right now because I live in a tiny flat (my couch is actually an armchair!), but if you're REALLY in trouble, it could be doable.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have surfed in many places in Spain, France, Belgium, Scotland, Czech Republic and Morocco and it was always great. There's nice people everywhere !
Interests
Reading, music, movies, theater, art, cooking, going out, being outside, outdoor activities, drinking a beer with friends, meeting new people, take a coffee on a sunny terrasse, sometimes even sports !

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you to juggle, actually ! I really like circus (like, I've been finding out at 20 years old that I would've liked to be a circus artist...a bit too late isn't it?), so I'm trying my best as a hobby. Beware, because I'm not THAT good, but I can give you a heads up.
Not really teaching, but exchanging cooking recipes is also great.
And, obviously, I can show you around a couple places in Montreal.
I can also teach you french if you teach me your langage!
