Overview
About Me
Currently studying medicine in Sherbrooke, Quebec, but I've lived in Montreal for almost 20 years!
My first language is French, but I'm fluent in English... I just have a little accent ;)
If I could use one word to describe me, I would say: curiosity. I've always been eager to discover every aspect of the environment that's surrounding me... That's why travelling is a passion.
I'm someone that profoundly hates routine... I'm creative, laid back and I compose with what life offers me every day. I'd say I'm positive and I don't like loosing time: if I want something, I'll always go for it... Life is short and I'm not afraid of mistakes... they make great lessons and even better stories to tell (to a certain extent..) ;)
My interests include politics, environmental issues, animal rights, art, hiking, rock climbing (I love nature related activities in general), yoga, writing, cooking...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is the perfect way to travel simply by exchanging with others. I think it gives you a different perspective of the world, because you engage into the daily lives of the people living in the countries you visit.
When I meet tourists in Montreal, I always try to give them as many tips as possible on the province of Quebec, simply because I know how hard it is to orient yourself and do activities without falling into the classic "tourist traps" I hate so much 😖
Interests
My interests are variable (see the "about me" section)... but I like having meaningful conversations and learning from people, places, experiences... that's the most important thing for me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Last summer, I did a 2 months solo trip in South East Asia (Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand and Laos). It was one of the best experiences of my life and I can't wait to travel again this summer. My plan is to go to South America for 2 months. Bolivia is on my list for sure.
