Hello I am Yaël, a young dynamical girl who likes having fun, discovering countries and meeting people.
About me, people’s say i am positive, always smiling, trustful.

I have been traveling for 3 years around the world and have been working 4 months in Australia as a waitress/saleswoman and in Japan for 6 months in Kyoto as an english and French teacher. I’m going to live for 2 years in Montreal with a WHV and want to have my own apartment there. I m a labor law and HR and i am currently looking for a job there.
I’m leaving Paris the 14 of november and would love to be host for few days in Montreal to meet people, to speak with them about their experiences in Canada and to share things with them before i find my own place and i have a job.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have always liked meeting traveler in Paris and speak with them. With this app, you can meet local people and they can teach you lot of things about their own country. It's always awesome to share moments with local people and keep it in your memory.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Left France when i was 23 yo to travel alone in The world.

Sleep in a tent in Tasmania with less than 2 degrees and horrible sleeping bag ahah.

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied law during five years in university in France and got my master degree in labor law in September in Paris.
During my master degree I worked 2 years in big different companies : First year as a HR and second year as a lawyer.
I liked my study at the university. I was motivated and really enjoyed to Learn a lot of things.
After my study, I decided to have a break between my study and my work life, I am young and still have so much things to discover!
For me, travel was a dream and i am happy now to do it :) but I think now that you can learn more when you travel than when you are sitting all day in the university ...
