About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Visit all the continent before my 30's (Only Asia and Australia remaining) while maintaining good relations with my awesome couchsurfing buddys. I run a small business in the hospitality industry in Montreal. I'm in charge of welcoming thousands of guests from around the world.

ABOUT ME
I'm from Canada and I live in Montréal. Montréal is a beautiful city-island in the province of Québec. Like most Quebecer, my mother language is French. I'm also fluent in English and Spanish.

Love to hang with friends, collect memories, go out, stay in, watch movies, read books, run, hikes, travel, meet people, learn new things. I never say no to some adrenaline rush, I like to improvise.. not a fan of organized trip and touristic trap.

Indian and Asian are my favorite food. I practice many sports and currently improving my rock climbing skills.
While travelling, I choose to stay longer in the same area to feel what it's like to be a local.

TRAVELLER PHILOSOPHY
Someone you haven't met yet is wondering what it'd be like to know someone like you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm new in the couchsurfing community but an experienced traveler. I host people on Airbnb in Montréal, in fact..that's what I do for a living :)

My cousins told me to try couchsurfing in Japan because it's the best way to get confortable in a country where you'll understand, mostly, nothing. I'm not fussy, a sofa/floor will do. An insight or two into the local culture by the host is always a bonus :)

I really don't think Couchsurfing is a free couch, I believe in connecting with people and that this website is about making friends with an international community through traveling. I'm polite, generous, ready to teach and share anything I know that you might find interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wonderful 5 days Salkantay trekking in Peru finishing at the Machu Picchu. It was my first solo-trip and I didn't know much spanish. It was one of the best decision in my life.

Amazing unorganized 2 weeks trip with my dad around Morocco. Didn't convince him to try Couchsurfing but he accepted to do Airbnb at locals house and he LOVED it ! I was really happy that he opens up his mind and learn to live under local's roof.

I hated my first year in corporation and decided to start my business at age 24 with my best friend. I can proudly say that I realized my dream.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn how people are able to get out of their work routine or their confort zone. Listening about someone's passion is always interesting because you can learn from anybody.
