Overview
About Me
I am a french canadian from Montreal. I studied biology of the environnement. I was a zookeeper until recently, since i decided to do this trip. I am a biiiig animal lover and love outdoor activities. I am travelling in Iceland, Ireland and Scadinavia for a couple of months.
I am a very smily/happy person, always see the positive of situations.. at least most of the time hehe, and very gratefull of what is given to us (and me!)
People say of me that i'm really sweet... both because of my caracter but also the amount of sugar i ingest 😝
I think simple things in life are the ones you'll enjoy the most. And what is making memories are not things that can be counted.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Meet knew people with some common interests, and learn the good spots to go to when traveling in a country.
Mainly meeting new people,
I am also travelling alone so company is great :)
Most of all i like to see how people are living in their country in their everyday life, and see what i can learn from that. The experience and memories are so different than from the eyes of a simple tourist..
Interests
I try to have a life in balance with health and ecology, so organics, zero-waste and home-made products are important to me (what a grano i sound!). Everything about self-sustainability really interests me... and i am really against the inustry of animal products, but no i am still not vegan.
I am human and have some bad habits too ;) ... a little bit too addicted to sugar, but yes i am always (almost) trying to reduce.
I also cook a lot (not always that good, i must admit, but eh.. most of the time it is).. and i have all the difficulty in the world to follow a receipe from A to Z, so i learn from my errors and try to understand.

Music, Movies, and Books
Ska, punk, alternatif, rock, blues, pop... favorite bands; Flatliners and Authority Zero... but also Reel big fish, Mad Caddies, Streetlight Manifesto and so much more.
I loved reading Harry Potter, Twilight, Hunger Games, romance, still have to read Lord of the Ring!.. but trully i don't read that much... because i would've already read LOTR.
I like science fiction, romance, comedies but mostly adventure!... i'm a little bit of a gamer if you give me a Tomb raider game 😏
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My trip to Iceland... never was really easy, but everything made it so memorable.
My first trip in South Africa to rescue coastral birds 🐦
Working in a zoo (which i am not to fanatic about in general, but this one is different!)... i learned so much about wildlife, training and much more!
Teach, Learn, Share
Well... what i know about life... but i must admit i will probably learn more thant the other way around, but we never know!
What I Can Share with Hosts
If you let me stay for the night i can show you that vegetarian meals are pretty good :)
