Hello!

Now settled in Montreal after some years in BC, loving the city and happy to host travellers when I can. I do have a special tenderness for this platform which has made some of my greatest travel memories 🥰

I'm chill, going with the flow, adaptable and always keen on meeting new folks and learn about their passions in life 😁 I have tons of fun travel stories to share, love cooking together and learn new recipes and just hanging out with cool folks 😎

I value respect, kindness, not taking yourself too seriously, having fun and learning about the world and life through adventure and good encounters ✨🌈

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely love the spontaneity and the free exchange that this platform provides. As hitchhiking, it is something that generally brings the best in people and remind us that the beauty of life lays in simple shared moments with genuine folks just happy to connect and help each other out 😌

Interests

I have lots of interests in life, practice rock climbing and yoga, love listening to music and dancing, sharing views on politics, good litterature and arts in all forms. I'm also a diver but less connected to the water these days since I haven't been brave enough to go ice diving 🤪
