CURRENT MISSION

Learning to sail and seeing more of Australia !!!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in France and decided to permanently immigrate to Canada when I was 26, or so I thought... I found a new home in beautiful Montreal and was blessed with a great community that became a second family. In 2013, my partner got a job offer in Melbourne, so we decided to go for a new adventure and we are loving it!
We are in our 30's , easy-going, curious and often up to try new things, especially when it comes to food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We hosted a bit in Australia but we can't really do it at the moment. We try to keep surfing when we travel and I am always happy to show people around.
What I really enjoy in CS it's the opportunity to see a place beyond the glossy touristy brochure. I love discovering where my hosts like to hang out, where they shop, their favorite bookshop or restaurant.... When I host, I enjoy rediscovering in my own region with new eyes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did some couchsurfing in Europe and Canada and plently of "non official" couchsurfing. I grew up in a very open home where it was not unusual to host poeple that needed a place to stay for whatever reason. It exposed me to many cultures and realities in life and taught me the virtues of being generous.
Funny thing, I met my partner when I was couchsurfing in Canada. He was a friend of my host who had invited me to join a camping trip to their family's cabin. After 7 years together , we got married last year, 10km from this little cabin in the wood where we met. My friend read the first email I ever sent her through couchsurfing at our ceremony. So think about what you'll write, you never know!
