CURRENT MISSION

It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing!

ABOUT ME

I am currently studying in Montpellier, southern France, and I want to travel and see new places! I love to go out at night, have long chatty meals, I play music and love arts and culture in general.
I try to be as easy-going and open-minded as I can be.

I love law and politics, and as corny as it sounds, I want to try and make a difference trough my job. I will be finishing my degree next year and will be a laywer in 2. After that, I might go and study political science, and become a university professor.

I love learning new languages, it is one of my passions. I am slowly picking up a bit of italian, and aim to start learning arabic (whenever I get enough free time).

I love to play music, by myself or with people singing along. It's a great way to fire up a party or an evening with friends.

Even though I have travelled quite a lot, I have always stayed within western countries, in Europe and North America. I have been in South America, but never in Asia or Africa. I is my firm intent to do so in the coming years, to open up to completely different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying to know the world, to make it a better place. Striving to accomplish great things but staying grounded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't been able to receive people, since I have been travelling and moving in and out of my parents house for the last few years. However, it is one of my projects for the near future, when I get back to Canada, to start hosting. Give back a little, after all the good times CS has brought me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted a couple of times in France, and loved it so much. So many of my friends are on couchsurfing and I met couchsurfers at their place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to play music. (Guitar/Bass, singing, percussion, harmonica, music theory and harmony, etc.)
I can speak and write 2 languages perfectly, and have a good level of spanish.

As far as learning goes, any additionnal linguistic or musical knowledge would be interesting. Surfing I'd like to be taught.

I can explain the basics of Law and Politics, and tell you all about Canadian, French, and American culture and politics.

That's about all I can think of.
