Hello this is Ness!
My name is Nessrine but most people call me Ness. At the moment, I am a pastry chef and an owner of a health orientated pastry shop, specialized in gluten free, dairy free and sugar free cakes. I love manual labor and I have an artistic mind.
I have studied languages and I have a university degree in science of religions, since I am a really big lover of world cultures. I love adventure and exploring but I also like a peaceful and simple life.
I can't wait to experience living in a new place, learning new skills and meeting new people.

Hello! I'm OJ (Ness' partner),

I'm half french, half dutch, and have travelled around Asia, New Zeeland and Australia for about 13 years. For the last four years, I've settled in Canada and working in forestry. I enjoy physical labor and am not adverse to working outdoors in any weather condition. My cup is half full and am always keen to fill it up more! Oh yeah... I love board games!
I'm looking forward to new experiences and meeting new people too!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I think that Couchsurfing s is an amazing way for traveling, because meeting local people while travelling is the only way to really know about the place that we visit. Local people from all around the world have great traditions, languages and ways of thinking. I think that to be a part of this beautiful world we have to share, teach and learn. It is at the moment that we go out of your comfort zone that we enjoy the most what we have and where we are.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

When I travel, I realize that I teach people about my culture and the way I live, I learn about theirs and we always share amazing time and experiences. Like my father always told me: "Le voyage c'est l'école de la vie" ("Traveling is the school of life")

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can offer you : A place to stay, my time to explore the city with you (because I still have a lot to learn about my city), answer your questions and be there for you.
