Overview
About Me
--- Sorry guys, all booked till September! ---
--- I'm not interested in using Couchsurfing as a way to meet people or making friends in Montreal; if you're a foreigner coming to visit the city, you're welcome to stay at my place, but I'm not interested in actively meeting new people in Montreal, so please, don't send me friend requests unless we've actually met IRL, thank you! ---
I'm a 30yo French girl living in Montreal with her cat (he's not fat, he's large!) and two awesome roommates; when i'm not making 3d characters while listening to a podcast about environment, i'm whether riding my bike my -20°C to get to my boxing club or sitting in my bed reading Dostoevsky, if i'm done with crafting random stuff out of wood pallets.
My focus in life is to never have idle time.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I recently took a liking into travelling and spend a few days in a new city, just walking (or biking) all around the whole day, and learn to know the people who live there.
I also love discussing with people from all around the world and share with them how my roommates and i live and how great Montreal is to live in.
Interests
I love tennis, muay thai (and sports in general), cooking, and i'm really interested in mythologies, environment and geopolitics, though lately my focus has shifted to reading (or listening to) litterature classics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Nothing crazy such as skydiving or travelling to the very heart of the jungle, but very meaningful to me.
During a general meeting, i confronted our CEO, in front of 350 employees, in a tongue that's not my maternal language, about how i was unhappy with how our collective retirement savings plan was invested in companies harmful to the environment, listing them one by one, and how we could change it for the better; needless to say, for someone like who can be very nervous when talking in front of a lot of people, my stomach was upside down from all the stress i built-in during the preceding days.
Teach, Learn, Share
Got some nice vegetarian recipes i can share, and also i can teach you an awesome card game that has been passing through my family for generations (well, that's just 3 generations as for now but heh)
