About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On a working holiday visa in New Zealand + a 3 months roadtrip + 2 months travelling in South East Asia.

ABOUT ME

I'm always laughing (so I'm a good public to anyone). I'm a bit of a board game enthousiast. I like challenges. I'm pretty curious. I'm respectful. You can meet me to know more!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I still don't have any experience as a host but I'm looking forward to host when I go back to Montreal !
I had some experiences surfing and meeting with people from CS, and all of them were just great !

Interests

I enjoy going to music and theatre shows, going to festivals. But I don't like to go by myself.
I like cooking and tasting new local food. Btw, I like pretty much everything.
Wine, I like wine (but I'm far from being the know-it-all kind). I also drink craft beers (you have to after living in Wellington).
I like any outdoor sports, especially hiking, running (gonna try to do a half marathon in september), slacklining and rock climbing.
I'm going to do my Open Water scuba diving course in a couple of weeks, looking forward to it'
I'm also interested in anything related to business and entrepreneurship.
I started a blog for my trip to New Zealand and really enjoyed writing it, even though my grand-mother was probably the only one reading it.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music taste is pretty wide, from indie rock to electronic with a little bit of rap. My all time favorite will always remain Radiohead though.

For movies, I mostly like dramas, foreign movies and documentaries. But I will gladly watch any cheesy romantic comedy.

I can be a real geek when it comes to books if I get started. I read all the Song of ice and fire (Game of thrones) in one year. But I also enjoy reading historical novels or any other stuff really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just finished a 3 months road trip in New Zealand, living in the back of a van and doing lots of hiking. I would do it again anytime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook and taste any kind of food. (I think I've said it twice already, but I really mean it).

I'm always interested in sharing about travel experiences, hospitality, business, world news, science, etc.
