Hey 🙋🏻
I'm a physiotherapy student from Quebec City in Canada! My best friend (Catherine, nursing student) and I are travelling/backpacking in Hawaii this summer! We are looking forward to meet you, to learn about your culture, your habits and your country! We are really exciting to share our first language (french), to share our culture from Quebec and to live an amazing experience with couchsurfing!
🌍🏃🏼🎒❤️😁

Take a look at my photo album to see pictures of me and pictures of Catherine 📸🤪😁

Now, let’s talk a little bit more about me 😊
But first, Catherine and I are best friend and we love each other like sisters.. we have a lot in common, so a lot of stuff that you will read about me are the same for Catherine.. but if you have any questions about her, feel free to ask! 💁🏻‍♀️

Favorites quotes who represent me well:
in english:

-To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that's all. ✨

-Travel is little beds and cramped bathrooms. It’s old television sets and slow Internet connections. Travel is extraordinary conversations with ordinary people. It’s waiters, gas station attendants, and housekeepers becoming the most interesting people in the world. It’s churches that are compelling enough to enter. It’s McDonald’s being a luxury. It’s the realization that you may have been born in the wrong country. Travel is a smile that leads to a conversation in broken English. It’s the epiphany that pretty girls smile the same way all over the world. Travel is tipping 10% and being embraced for it. Travel is the same white T-shirt again tomorrow. Travel is flowing in the back of a bus with giggly strangers. It’s a street full of bearded backpackers looking down at maps. Travel is wishing for one more bite of whatever that just was. It’s the rediscovery of walking somewhere. It’s sharing a bottle of liquor on an overnight train with a new friend. Travel is “Maybe I don’t have to do it that way when I get back home.” - Nick Miller ✌🏼️

-There's a reason why people close their eyes when they kiss, when they cry and when they pray.. because the most essential things in life must be felt with our hearts ❤️

-Life begins at the end of your comfort zone 🌍🏃🏼

In french:
-N'ayez pas peur que votre vie s'arrête, ayez plutôt peur qu'elle ne commence jamais. - Grace Hansen 🙌🏼
(Translation: Do not be afraid that your life will stop , have rather fear that it never starts)

-Si nous avons le courage de les poursuivre, tous les rêves deviennent réalité. - Walt Disney ⭐️
(Translation: If we have the courage to pursue them, all the dreams come true)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet and interact with locals from all around the world to learn about culture, habits and lifestyle. I really enjoy to meet new people and to make friends. I prefer to take ''new'' path then touristic path.. Also, I prefer to feel a city/place like a real local than a tourist. Well, I'm not a tourist, Im a backpacker so! 😁🎒
And I'm very open mind so let's talk about everything! I love to learn more and more everyday!
