I teach literature in Cégep (kind of like College). I'm passionate about arts, whether it be books, movies, plays, music, art, TV, etc. Other than that, I like to rock climb, hike, swing dance, play board games, get involved in local organizations and go out for a pint of craft beer. And obviously, I love traveling, whether it be a weekend roadtrip or a couple of months around the world!

I would describe myself as curious and a bit nerdy, always interested in learning new things. I'm calm, but outgoing, and I get along with pretty much anyone.

P.S. Don't hesitate to write to me in French, as it is my first language!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like people and traveling! And Couchsurfing makes me believe in a world where people care about each other.

I have both couchsurfed and hosted. I like to spend time with the people that host me (if they have time) or that I host, as I feel that it is a big part of the couchsurfing experience!

Interests

Reading, playing board games, going out to see plays or shows, staying in to watch movies, being out in the woods or on the roads, meeting new people, learning...

I especially like to talk and learn things about: arts and culture, sociology, politics, linguistics... basically anything that concerns the way human beings live together.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Laurence Anyways, Lost in Translation, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Royal Tenenbaums, Past Lives... Independent, intelligent and original movies in general. Mainly american and canadian movies, but I'm hoping to get the time to discover movies from other countries (If you have suggestions, I'll gladly take them!).

Music: folk and bluegrass are definitely my thing, but I also listen to a lot of rock and a bit of pop.

Books: Mostly Quebec (french-canadian) novels and poetry. Otherwise, mostly French/English/American 20th and 21th century novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All my travels were amazing experiences! Among them:
- Hitchhicking all around Canada
- Cycling around Ireland for a couple of weeks
- Living abroad in France
- Hiking in Nepal and Peru
- Meeting so many amazing people along the way!

Teach, Learn, Share

I really like to share travel anecdotes. If you have any funny/special travel stories, I will be glad to hear them. I also like to learn historical or cultural facts about the places I visit, and share trivia facts about my own city.

Besides that, I can teach you a lot about Quebec culture (books, music, movies, etc.) and French language. And being a really curious person, almost anything you would want to teach me would be appreciated!
