Hi, my name is Stephanie. I'm a French Canadian who loves travelling and learning about other cultures. I am presently studying in Foreign Language Teaching. The aspect about traveling that I enjoy the most is that you get to experience other lifestyles and learn about the world that surrounds you. I am a calm and rather introverted person, but I like to exchange with other people and learn from them.

Hola, me llamo Stephanie y soy de Quebec, Canada. Me encanta viajar y conocer nuevas culturas. Creo que lo que más me gusta de los viajes es estar directamente inmerso en otra cultura y aprender cosas nuevas sobre el mundo que nos rodea. Puedo ser una persona timida e introvertida, pero siempre quiero conocer nueva gente y escuchar sus historias.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to be able to meet new people in my travels and connect with locals from all over the world. I love to exchange on different topics and travel like a local. I usually travel very slowly and am interested in making friends along the way.
I also want to host people in my city, and be able to know more of the city I live in at the same time by finding new activities to do.

Estoy en Couchsurfing porque quiero encontrar personas nuevas en mis viajes y conectarme con personas de todo el mundo. Me gusta compartir ideas con las personas y viajar como alguien del lugar. Me gusta viajar sin prisa y hacerme amistades en el camino. También quiero albergar viajeros en mi casa, y continuar a descubrir cosas nuevas por donde vivo.

Interests

Being outside! Life is too short to be spent indoors.. I love being in nature and hiking.
Whenever I travel, I try to learn about the history of the place and visit the museums, but I also like to spend most of my time discovering new places.
When I'm in Montreal, I spend my time studying at cafes, reading, walking around the city, cooking (read: trying to cook), playing guitar, taking care of my plants and meeting with friends or new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly read historical fiction novels and non-fiction books at the moment.

Favorite music... It's hard to tell: I like classical Rock, folk, salsa, bachata, etc. Depends on the mood and place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you're trying to learn Spanish or French I can help :)
I can cook a few meals, with love (but not always skill!),
I want to learn about your country/place you're from and hear your stories! Let's exchange so we can both learn about each other's respective cultures.
