Hi!

My name is Elisa-Joan, and I’m French-Irish, currently living in Canada.

I have a deep love for the adventure that comes with traveling—meeting new people, sharing experiences, and discovering fresh perspectives. I enjoy going with the flow, allowing myself the freedom to adapt plans to the moment. Often, I find more joy in the unexpected than in sticking to a rigid itinerary.

I’d describe myself as open-minded and enthousiastic, with a passion for astronomy, spiritual sciences, and meaningful life encounters. I’m something of an eternal dreamer, always striving to see the positive side of every situation!

:) Thank you for reading me :)
Hope to meet you soon

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being part of a community like Couchsurfing truly resonates with my approach to travel. It aligns perfectly with my desire to connect with people on a deeper level, beyond the usual tourist experience. Through Couchsurfing, I have the chance to meet locals who share their unique perspectives, stories, and aspirations, enriching my journey in ways I could never plan.

The exchange of experiences is at the heart of what makes travel so meaningful to me. Whether it’s sharing a meal, exploring hidden gems, or simply engaging in heartfelt conversations, these interactions create memories that last a lifetime. It’s not just about the places I visit but the bonds I form along the way, which inspire me to continue exploring with an open heart and mind.

Couchsurfing isn’t just a way to find a place to stay—it’s a way to build connections, foster cultural exchange, and embrace the true spirit of community while traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding Across Canada in a Camper Van!

In November, Max and I hit the road from Montreal, heading west in our camper van. Along the way, two fellow travelers joined us, making the adventure even crazier! The further west we drove, the deeper winter settled in.

One unforgettable night, while driving throught Saskatchewan, the temperature plunged from 9°C to -36°C! We were completely unprepared for such a drastic drop, and our engine gave out. Stranded in Saskatoon for a month, we spent our time searching for and replacing the engine. Finally, on December 24th—just in time for Christmas—we were back on the road. What a gift! 🎄

We made it! Christmas and New Year's in the Rockies were incredible—skiing, snowboarding, and soaking in the stunning winter landscapes. Absolutely loved it!

Now, Max has found a job with staff accommodation, while I’m still looking for opportunities in the Bow Valley—whether it’s volunteering, a job, or any new adventure!
