Hey!
Four years ago, I finished my bachelor in social work in my hometown of Gatineau. I then traveled more or less for two years through Helpx. After having moved a lot during those years, I came back to Canada looking for a bit of stability and decided to give Montréal a chance. I had never lived there before and it really is a wonderful city!
As of September, however, I will be living in the capital of Mexico, working as a teacher's assistant. I'm looking forward to discovering another world and meeting new people!

Hola!
Me llamo Léa y en 2014, terminé mis estudios en trabajo social. Al momento, vivo en Montréal trabajando en una organización comunitaria pero a partir del mes de septiembre, estaré viviendo y trabajando en CDMX. Estaré dando talleres y cursos de francés en una universidad.
Tengo muchas ganas de llegar a México y sumergirme en la cultura mexicana! Me encantaría conocer a gente nueva con quien podría descubrir la ciudad :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to be around people and I am a very curious person. I love to meet people who come from all sorts of backgrounds. The notion of exchange is very valuable to me, may it be ideas, recipes or languages.

Soy una persona muy sociable y curiosa. Es importante por mí estar rodeada de gente con quien puedo compartir ideas y experiencias de vida.

También sería un placer por mí que alguien me muestre cómo preparar comidas típicas mexicanas!

Interests

I love music and even more so, I love dancing!

Food! I love food! It's a pleasure I love to share and I am always looking to be creative and explorative in this field.

Music, Movies, and Books

Because I love so many various styles, it would be hard for me to pinpoint something in particular so I'll just name what I've been listening to for the last week: Devendra Banhart, Mac DeMarco and Men I Trust.
I've also been into cumbia lately!

I've been reading plenty lately and I would definitely put Hermann Hesse as my top author of the moment. Camus and Ionesco aren't too far behind as absurdity just gets me in a way I can't explain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak french and english fluently and I really am looking forward to improving my spanish in México.

Quiero mejorar mi español! Si alguien quiere mejorar su francés o inglés, me encantaría hacer intercambios lingüísticos contigo!
