About Me

I'm in a continuous process of learning how to be and to live being as aligned as I can with my inner self. Those last years, I have been moving around Canada, living a few months in Montreal, planting trees in Northern Alberta and British-Columbia, traveling to the Yukon and Alaska, and spending some time living in BC with horses.

My Canadian experience ended and I am now back to Mexico, where I will be travelling and staying for a few months. I am currently travelling with my brother Loïc with the wish of showing him the beauty of Mexico. I am also very grateful I can be here again and discovering, with new eyes, this land I carry in my heart for so many reasons.

Can't wait to see you there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After a few Couchsurfing experiences, I can say how much I'm happy I started to use this platform. The people I met here, everytime, make me realize how precious comunities are. This travellers community brought me a lot and I feel like I always met the right people at the right moment.

People I meet on my way are one of the most important part of my journey. I love meeting different people and listening to their life stories. I learn a lot through encounters and discovering how others see life and everyday situations; how they live their lifes.

I can't wait to have my own place to be able to welcome people as well.

Interests

I love meeting new people and learning languages, although I lately told myself I would wait until learning a new one to take the time to deepen my knowledge related to the languages I already speak (French, English and Spanish).

If I could spend all my time in nature, I would do it! I am always motivated to go hiking, and that's even better if a bit of rock-climbing is involved there. I feel the need to be around nature and animals, I like to create links with animals and had a lot of experiences with horses - they are so sensitive and can teach a lot to human beings open to listen.

I also love to spend a lot of time writing on my travel journals and I try to develop my creativity through this way.

In love with libraries although I wish I'd read more books! Always happy to hear recommendations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The year I spent in Mexico, for a university exchange. It was the first time I left my country to go living somewhere else and I have so many good memories there! Special cheers to the dearest city of Morelia where I spent lots of time.

A beautiful journey in Dominica island hitchhiking and camping with a friend. One of my best trips so far.

The month I spent in Haines Junction (Yukon, Canada), to help taking care of horses in a farm and therapy center where was practiced equine-assisted therapy. And the whole two last years I spent in Canada with the goal of just living the life without planning too much and trying to listen my inner voice as much as possible.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a French tutor and give online classes - by the way, I may will be giving some classes when I'll be at your place. I still don't teach a lot though, so it won't be unconvenient but if you work from home, maybe it could.

I am always down to share a good meal! I am not the best cook but I can try my best. ;) My speciality is Chilaquiles con huevos (my favorite plate from Mexico) ### Ahora que estoy viajando por Mexico siento un poco de presion jaja!! ###

Will always be down for a hike or a simple moment in nature. I could spend hours outside.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some conversations, activities together, cultural exchanges and more! I love to walk around in the place I am visiting and hiking. I also love to share some coffee or a beer, depending the mood. But I also never get bored when I am alone so no pressure if you are busy or if you are just not in the mood today!
