About Me

I am a dynamic, friendly and curious girl from Quebec, left the countryside to study in the big city of Montreal and live with my boyfriend. After 7 years in Montreal, enjoying this crazy heady city, studying, graduating and working with the new immigrants, I decided to be a part of an awesome and unpredictable adventure in the Nothwest Territories, in the great North of Canada. I brang my boyfriend with me and we are both falling in love with the nordic infinite possibilities here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the first time I would try couchsurfing. A friend of mine tried it in BC, Canada, a few years ago. This was the best travel experience she ever had.
It's my turn now. I travel since 2014 with my boyfriend David. We want to meet new people from everywhere in the world, share a great moment, a bottle of wine, a coffe in the morning, some amazing stories... And practice our english again, or maybe spanish, german, tagalog, farsi...!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went in the North of Quebec for a meeting with non-indigenous and indigenous people about the protection of the territory. We went on the tundra, on a sacred ancestral land of the Innu people. This experience made me fall in love with the North and the northen communities. That's why I now live in the North West Territories for a year, living the nordic dream with some beautiful people and even my boyfriend!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, learn, share. Those 3 words mean a lot to me. This is me, this is what I love to do, why I studied, why I volonteer, why I travel.
Teach me things I don't know, this is a gift to me. This is my salary.
