About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the best out of me every day. There are no reason to be just "average". Life is too short, let's enjoy it with passion!!!

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty old CS member, if you hadn't noticed ;) At that time, the whole project and idea was a total revolution: the community was super small, I remember we were even not 20 000 members! And I saw it growing, and growing!! ;) There was noting else than the strong desire to share experiences and to make new friends from around the world. For me, I still feel the same way every time I log in, and I hope you do the same! :P

For the rest, I am back from 2 years of living Barcelona, Spain. I changed the beauties of Gaudi for an untouched forest with 1000 lakes around.. in the very North of Quebec, in an aboriginal reserve! So I apologize in advance, it won't be possible to for me to host anyone for a while, since I am living directly in the Hotel where I'm working...

But...... if you still want to know more about me, I mean, in my ex-montrealer everyday life, well.....I can tell you that I am a one-of-a-kind girl ;)
I love to have fun, to travel, to meet people from around the world, and most importantly to enjoy EVERY MOMENT of my life.

I try to do yoga and medidation on a regular basis, even though it's not always easy with my busy schedule, and of course outdoor activities, spend time with my friends and families, traveling and share the love with the people I meet during my journey!

PHILOSOPHY

Love to live and live to love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I didn't hesitate to donate at the very beginning of the creating of CS, because I found the idea just perfect for "us" people from the world.
With the time however, I realized CS is not for everybody. In our world now you will meet people with different intentions that couldn't fit with the original CS Project. I think an important responsibility of every CSmember is to get the GOOD PEOPLE to know about this site, I mean - the ones that you know they will bring something good. The ones that are open-minded and willing to SHARE.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Every time was WONDERFUL. I learned a lot from each experience and I keep so many great memories. Every time was so different and that's what makes everybody so unique. What I am the most proud of is that I have the chance through CS to make so many good friends from around the planet - and I still have them today... how about that!? That's just wow! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

macrobiotic cuisine:
The combination of aliments in your food, it's a philosophy of life. If we have a good dinner with a few glasses of wine, maybe we'll have time so I can explain it well and in details... ;)
