About Me

Je suis une designer graphique de Montréal. Je voyage pour le plein air, le design, les arts, les gens. J'aime marcher, au hasard des rues, de façon intuitive ; je deviens amoureuse d'une ville lorsque je tombe tout à fait au hasard sur des trucs que j'aime. J'aime les produits locaux, les bières artisanales, les cafés 3e vague, les expositions gratuites, l'art de rue. J'aime quand une ville a l'air vivante, par ses manifestation culturelles ou ses lieux éphémères... J'aime photographier, et montrer en image ce qu'on ne voit pas avec les yeux.

I am a graphic designer from Montreal. I love travelling for outdoor activities, design, art, and people. I like to walk streets intuitively. I fall in love with a place when things I like seem to be placed on my path. I like local craft shops, free exhibitions, craft beer, third wave cafés... I like to take photos of things we don't necessarily see with our eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I sleept in a couch in Nantes in 2008 and I really liked the experience. 2 month after, Caroline, who hosted me, came in Montreal and sleeped in my living room. Since then, I'm convinced that couchsurfing is one of the best ways to feel home, all around the world.
