Well I forget very often to brush my hair, but I always brush my teeth. I really love to wear clothes that don't go together (it's my personal contribution for making the world a little less sad), and I always, always forget everything.

Except those little particularities, I'm kind of a normal person, who wants to live life to the full, to always get better and discover much about myself and about the world, which means traveling, meeting people, being spontaneous and smiling :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that we should all break our comfort zone and become aware that this world would be a bit less sad if it was not ruled by money but by solidarity and community spirit. CS, among others, is a great way to realize that the world is full of amazing people who have a lot to give... I had so many great experiences as a guest, which made me want to give back and host, and it made me meet incredible people when I arrived alone in Montréal!

Interests

Knowing myself better through the tools I can find - drawing, writing, meditation, knowing others and the world better through cinema, literature and travels!
Enjoying life meeting new people, spending time with my friends, cooking and sharing meals,
Exploring with my bike, adventures, hiking,
I developed a huge interest here in Montréal for anything that it is possible to do for free - community kitchens, community yoga, hitch hiking, dumpster diving! A lot of fun and a great way to meet amazing people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Love, friendship, nearly dying in the gulf of Mexico, forgetting my passport and still being able to travel, going to India 6 weeks alone with my backpack, moving to Canada!

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess what's the most important in CS is just to share some good moments, no matter if it is around a good meal, a drink, visiting places or whatever. Oh, and I'm always curious of learning about your trips, recipes, langage, and widen my musical references...
