CURRENT MISSION

Finding the balance between growing calm inside myself while beeing open to intense joy of life !

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded person and I'm very curious about how people I meet think, feel and do. I appreciate conversations that matter, and I would describe myself as an appreciated listener. I just love to invite people in my place and share with them food, drinks and great moments ! To be positive and to stay calm inside would be my personal moto.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I begun my adventure with CS in 2009, while traveling across Canada and south on the west coast of the States. I intended to discover deeper my country using this kind of accommodation with local people. I felt very welcomed everywhere I was sleeping, and I was very inspired by my hosts. I got a full bag of new knowledge from my experience with them. I'm back home full of energy and desire to welcome couchsurfers myself, so come in !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A word would describe well my experience with CS : DIVERSITY ! From single young students to calm couples passing by energic families, I enjoy all of my experiences ! I even was able to transform a CS experience in a Wwoofing experience. One of the best moment was to meet again my first CS hosts ever later that summer, while they were travelling ! And they came to visit me in Quebec a year after.. I think we can call that "sharing good vibes" !
