About Me

ABOUT ME

33 year old translator originally from Montreal, Canada now living in Irving, Texas. ;o)
I moved for work in October 2014 in Houston first and now Dallas.
Before that I was a dance major, I taught dance and performed for a few years before leaving for England, where I spent 14 months working and travelling. That was in 2011. When I came back, I decided to pursue translation and went back to school to get my graduate degree. :)

I'm single and enjoying life. I'm fluent in French and English. I might have a slight accent when I speak English...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a great experience in San Francisco with two different lovely CS hosts and again in Houston, and then in New Orleans. I keep meeting people who used CS to travel when on a budget and pretty much every story has been positive.

I am excited to meet new people on my new adventures through CS.

Music, Movies, and Books

John Irving, Stephen King, John Grisham, Kurt Vonnegut, Kathy Reichs, Dean Koontz. Oliver Sacks...

Music I like a lot of different things, Amos Lee, John Mayer, Ray Lamontagne, Justin Nozuka, David Gray (mainly singer songwriters, accoustic musicians)

I love Netflix, who doesn't? I'll watch anything from Bob's Burgers, to Narcos most recently, horror movies and documentaries.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have traveled by myself a great deal, I am very independant and trust worthy. You will not need to entertain me, although showing me around is always appreciated, but I know people are busy and sometimes can't do it. I always look up a city i'm about to visit to decide what I want to do. I'm organized, I love meeting new people. I've been told i'm bubbly too. :)
