CURRENT MISSION

Challenge myself and try to live fully

ABOUT ME

Veronique and Marc-Andre, AKA VeroPom and Wax in the Ultimate Frisbee community in Quebec. We both like great music and dancing, as well as hiking and camping among others activities. I LOVE cooking and learning about other cultures food, I started trail running and I really find peace in shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), especially in the winter.

We both work at University of Sherbrooke: me as a research assistant in cancer cell biology and Marc-Andre in the robotics program coordination. We enjoy sharing a great diner + wine with friends an engage in great discussion about almost anything.
We both play Ultimate Frisbee, one of the greatest sport ever because of the essence of SOTG.
We are now focused on developing our little homestead, using permaculture and regenerative soils approaches to have a more sustainable way of living and contribute to a better future.

PHILOSOPHY

Be authentic. Right here, right now (or Enjoy every moment you have!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few times so far together and by myself. We met very generous people and had a great time abroad and hosting. We also have been hosting/couchsurfing a few times now through the Ultimate frisbee community (not CS-related though). We've also did WOOFING a couple of times to gain experience and develop our own homestead.
Not hosting at the moment because we already have roomates.

Interests
