CURRENT MISSION

Back home after 4 years on the road!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Quebec City, my first language is french (but I speak english fluently). Sociable, relaxed, tolerant, smiley and positive, I love exchanging ideas and thoughts about any subjects. Free spirit and open minded, I try not to judge anybody, to be respectful, present, to help and listen when needed.

PHILOSOPHY

"Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what's right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in." – Andrew Zimmern

“Travelers never think that they are the foreigners.” – Mason Cooley

"The one who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. Those who walk alone are likely to find themselves in places no one has ever been before." – Albert Einstein

“A wise traveler never despises his own country.” – Carlo Goldoni

“No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.” – Lin Yutang

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After all those years traveling, I know how to get a good vibe when I share a common space with other people... Simply with respect, compassion and assistance. Plus I love helping, feeling useful, cooking and sharing meals :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been on the road for the last 4 years... I used Couchsurfing here and there, especially in Indonesia, Australia and Hawaii.

Can't wait to start hosting, as soon as I can do so.

Interests

I'm really active: yoga, running, hiking, swimming, dancing, etc. But I also enjoy relaxing: nature, culture, music, veggie food, movies... and good conversations :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've created a travel community & WebTV in the past... I also worked as a travel journalist during my trip around the world in 2013-14. More recently, I traveled a year in solo around Australia and lived in a van for 7 months.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teacher one day, student the other... I believe that life is all about sharing, compassion, gratitude and freedom.

Mostly food, help and conversations... Please ask me questions!
I love sharing a bit of wisdom when I can ;)
