About Me

Regular and ordinary man, but not common. Very interested by other cultures, and wanting to know more about them.

Very open minded, love conversation around a glass of wine or a cocktail (but definitely not a party animal, or who considers a meal incomplete if it is not accompanied by wine).

Newly proud non smoker!!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

By experience, i know that accomodations are at least half the price of a vacation, and it can be frustrating to see rates get inflated for singles. I'm here to make it easier and to allow people to spend more on visiting Montreal, and spend less for simply being here!

Obviously, i would love being hosted as well and enjoy the company of like minded people.

One last thing: I am gay, and therefore, a single lady can safely host me or come visit without fear of being harassed.

Music, Movies, and Books

i like pretty much all kind of music, depending on the company i'm with. I have a love affair with book, all of them, but these days i'm more into mystery novels (it will change eventually...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having been in the Navy, i got to travel a lot and i would say one of the most life changing experience i had was the time i spent on a farm in a small village just outside of Palermo. Living with real people, sharing their time, family, etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a great knowledge of the city, it's culture and history (was told often i should have become a guide tour).

i love learning everything about the local culture when i travel (sit in a store and look at what people buy for food, their clothes, what and how they eat)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Perfectly fluent in French and English so of good assistance for travellers,
A good room, with a real (single) bed! 15 minute walking distance to a subway station and a very quiet (and safe) neighborhood so a good night sleep after walking around the city's.

I am gay, and therefore a single woman can safely stay with me without fear of being harassed.

if you rented a car, i have a parking spot (essential in a city like Mtl), and i live close to one of the south shore bridge, close to the highway leading to Quebec City (if you plan to visit this most beautiful historic city as well)
