About Me

How best to describe oneself? This will only give you a glimpse, and the glimpse I want you to get. :)

I am like everyone else, with some traits that are stronger or weaker. I am quite open-minded. I like to be free, but I am also very self-conscious. It depends on my environment and my level of energy. I like living in other countries and learning new things. I like to think and question what I take for granted. But I try to get out of my head and experience the relationships I have with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know I will meet interesting people and share.

Music, Movies, and Books

I cannot answer this. I am the worst person in terms of remembering names. But I can say that in terms of music, it depends on my mood. Generally, I like what makes me want to dance. So, swing, world music, reggae, Quebec music.

For movies, I like to be touched or to think. I also like fantasies, or the movies in which people fight with swords.

In terms of books, I've liked all kinds of books. From Paulo Coelho to self help, fiction to biographies. It depends on how it makes me feel and how well it is written.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've built a tiny Tiny house. I could not use it because of the rules in the city where I was living, but I am very proud of it. I recently brought it to an eco-community so they can use it for their volunteers. At least it is being used :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach? I like to listen to people. Their stories, their lives. When I can, I try to help them understand themselves better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a meal for you and your roommates or friends if you want me to!
