Born and raised in Montreal, Canada. I’m a full time art teacher and have worked in Montreal, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Vietnam and now Paris. I’ve been to 82 countries so far...I love to travel, eat, meet new friends around the world, and learn about new cultures. I love to cook, hike, and get lost in new countries.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I heard about couch surfing back in 2010 from other backpackers while I was traveling across Asia. I love the concept of staying with a local, getting to know their culture, learn their language and to meet new people that can be lifelong friends. When I first joined it was just to meet new friends to have a coffee, or to travel and explore together while in a new city. I met some of the coolest people and they showed me around Hangzhou in China, we went for drinks and dinner afterwards , then one of the girls hosted me that night. Since then I've been trying to use couch surfing whenever I travel but have stopped 5 years ago. Now, I only use it to meet cool people when I travel.

兴趣

I think I’m quite adventurous. Any opportunity that I have to travel, meet new people and see new places, I'm there. I'm into cultural exchange and I'm also a huge foodie, so I love to eat and try different food around the world.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I'm part of the global issues network club since 2013 and I've trained and mentored middle schoolers to join the club and to focus more on global issues, helping others in need through fundraising campaigns and to learn about sustainability. I offer my time for free to create awareness about world issues. In March 2016, I organized and hosted a global issues conference in Shanghai over a weekend and hosted over 300 people interested in learning about how to engineer our future. Currently in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, I am continuing this network with a group of motivated high school students in hopes to get Vietnamese students out there to take action and make some positive and sustainable changes for their country.

教，学，和分享

I've been a teacher and mentor for teenagers and adults for over 23 years. I'm a strong believer in lifelong learning. Knowledge is gained mostly through traveling and we should all be sharing and caring for one another, without always thinking about making profit. If everyone shared this same mentality the world would be a happier place. Educate each other, we can't do it alone.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can teach you English or we can talk about art, movies, food or current global issues (or even politics). I love to cook so if there’s time we can do that together too. I've traveled to 80 countries and can share all my crazy stories with you....guaranteed a good laugh!
