ABOUT ME

Hello fellow travelers!

I'm back in Montreal after a year in Asia! I just finished a Master degree in Environment management last year and I've lived in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam for a little less than a year, where I was doing an internship in environment for a Canadian NGO. I was working with farmers all over the country and it's been a great learning experience. It really change my perception of life. It definitely made me realize than you cannot really understand a country until you live in it! My vietnamese is still not fluent... but i'm getting there!

My last big trip before that was a 6 months WWOOFing trip in Hawaii and I had some awesome couch surfing experiences over there.

I love outdoors activities like hiking and camping.

I'm a dynamic and really expressive person. I love to laugh (a lot) and have beers with friends.

See you!

PHILOSOPHY

Like Gandhi said: You must be the change you wish to see in the world

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All good ones!

I hosted 3 people (1 Australian and 2 german girls) and it went really well!

In Hawaii I was to suppose to go to a couch surfer apartment for a night and it end up by being a week and then we became best friend! I also went to another couch surfer house and it was awesome! She planned a BBQ, beach day and some fun activities and we stayed in touch while I was on the island.
