About Me

I was born and raised near Montreal, Canada. Over the years, I have worked as a translator, a language teacher, a waiter in a French restaurant, a flight attendant and, more recently (2017-2022), as a business development manager in a 3D printing/VR company based in Germany.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am currently in a transition period, having just left (September 30th, 2022) a Düsseldorf-based company I worked at for more than five years . Though I like to stay flexible regarding the future, I plan to go back to Canada by the summer. Until then, I wish to find inspiration by travelling around the world and meeting new people.

Interests

I'm passionate about languages, very fond of drawing (mostly with just a pencil and paper, but also with Photoshop) and regularly practice a variety of sports: martial arts, winter sports, bouldering, trampolining, parkour, etc.
