About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Move smoothly to Montreal

ABOUT ME

I am mostly a cheerful and optimistic person passionate about music.

I am so in love with knowledge and books that I could almost call myself a nerd! But don't you worry, I like going out and am often down for a party, as well as a calm and sweet evening (summer nights are the best!). I love learning just as much as I love teaching, so if you are willing to know me, get ready to share and talk! I consider my friends those who with I can talk about anything. People often trust me when it comes to simple or personal things, so you won't have to get shy ;). I have all kinds of humour, except maybe cynicism.

PHILOSOPHY

Les limites de mon langage signifient les limitent de mon monde

The limits of my language mean the limits of my world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had the pleasure to host a lot of wonderful people, some of them with whom I am fortunately still in contact with! :D

I surfed a couple of time in Florence, Italy, and I really liked to discover the country while making contact with really nice people, kind enough to receive you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All my experiences were mostly fantastic! Hope you could be the next really good experience ;). I think that CS can provide unique life experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped in parachute, went in Italy for my first solo-trip and had several wonderful times visiting the museums...and eating!, hiked for four days in the Fjord du Saguenay, saw London, made friend with Cubans.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you french, cooking, soap making, music and guitar, sushi rolling, jewelry making, and probably more if you ask :)

One of my goals in life is being the most polyglot I can, so I'll be very interested in learning any languages. I like to think that learning a tongue is kind of decoding a secret code...Isn't it exciting?! :D. I'd like to know recipes from your culture that we could cook together ^^

If you have things interesting to talk about, and I have too, why don't we share? :)
