About Me

Hello you!

I would be very happy to spend time with you and make you discover beautiful Montreal or simply share your favourite activities if I'm travelling in your area.

I'm an open-minded traveller.
Calm, happy, respectful, energetic, enthusiastic, and outgoing!

I adore Latin dances, cross-country skiing, hiking, running, biking, yoga, arts, healthy food (mostly vegan but kinda flexible), meditation, psychology, cooking, and literature.

I enjoy both nature and city!

As I grow up, I rely more and more on my intuition, and it feels great.

**I'm a happy person, and I hope you are too:-)**

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To live genuine experiences abroad. To me, this kind of experience happens through human contact. I love meeting people with diverse perspectives.

Meeting new people is my way of living. People are like books; I want to know your story!

To welcome interesting people, wherever they come from.

To move out of my comfort zone and routine, to see other ways of living a life and be inspired. Please inspire me :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I try to make every day amazing, and it works :-D.

If you like that kind of story, I have plenty of wildlife encountering anecdotes (e.g., bears, poisonous snakes).

Otherwise, I was once invited to a shooting gallery in Transylvania by a former policeman (I'm scared of guns, and that was a very uncommon experience for me!). I try to do things that scare me (with a lot of humour), and I aspire to become a fearless person :-) 🐅

Teach, Learn, Share

*Teaching* is an intrinsic part of my life because I am a teacher and a mother of a teenager! (my area of expertise is positive development and flourishing in teenagers and young adults).

*Learning* too, because I always find a way to learn from every situation and from every person I meet on my way.

I *share* good vibes and smiles :-) :-) :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know some very good-cheap restaurants and bars!

If you like sports, I will be very wiling to accompany you for a run or training !!

If you want to learn French, my daughter is a brilliant and so patient teacher :-)
