CURRENT MISSION

See the world, meet new people, discover new places and expand my horizons!

ABOUT ME

I am a Montreal native, a proud french Canadian or should I say, "fier d'être québécois!".
I consider myself as an open minded person, easy going and always willing to try new things.
I want to see new places and meet new people because I am convinced traveling has made me a better person; it has enriched my life by allowing me to discover new points of view, other realities, other cultures!

PHILOSOPHY

"I know that so far I have yet to know that much, hence, there is always something new to learn!"

"With hard work and dedication, anything is possible!"

"I am a firm believer that people are all equal and
should all be treated as such; with respect and humility!"

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Yes, in Greece (Crete and Athens). I am now convinced that couch surfing is the best way to meet people were you travel. It might be intimidating but it is most rewarding. What I have learned from these CS experiences is: "Don't be shy the CS initiative, get involved, meet people and make your trip even more worth while and full of rich encounters!"
