About Me

Hi everybody!
I'm a classical trumpet player who will start a Master Degree at McGill (Mtl) in September.
I enjoyed travelling (sure) and even if I look shy, I think (I hope) that I'm a funny and nice person!
I'm the kind of the person who like to see everything and a do lot of things in my day - you know, the annoying person that will read everything in a museum? that's me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Seriously, there's no better way for travelling than meet people from the place! Couchsurfing is the perfect way to do this.

Interests

- Music, music, music and music! (Play and listen to it)
- Swing Dance (I took lessons for 1 year and a half and now I dance the more I can)
- Sports (swimming, bike, jogging, gym...)
- Discovering new things and new people
- Travelling
- Everything that is absurd (The Office, Parks and Recreations...)

Music, Movies, and Books

- Music: classical, of course (but not like Mozart and Beethoven... More like Mahler, Shostakovitch, Reich, Part, Prokofiev...), and indie, downtempo, rock, folk. A lot of things, but don't talk to me about Nickelback!

- Movies: I don't really enjoyed blockbusters; I'm more into repertory movies. I like a lot of Quebec's movies, like Xavier Dolan's ones, and I watch Edward' Scissorhands and Christmas Vacation every year!
Wes Andersen's beautiful images, American Beauty and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are among my favorite movies.

- Books: I like to read classics, like Les liaisons dangereuses and L'arrache-coeurs. Simone de Beauvoir is my favorite author, and I also enjoyed comics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My entire life.
Just kidding! I run an half-marathon 3 years ago; I'm pretty proud of it. And I learned to swin at 22, which was a big accomplishment for me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I'm a good cook -you want to discover the famous poutine? ;p- and I can teach some Quebec's swear words, swing's basic steps and music!
However, I know nothing about hockey... Sorry!
But I will do the dishes with pleasure.
