International Conference in Montreal

As I am going over my one hundred pages Thesis, I realized I have less than 30 days to go before I present it at an International Conference in Montreal, Canada! Even though I had months to plan and prepare for it, I just got started! Yikes!

I have not been to Montreal. However, I heard great things about the city especially around the month of May. This is why hotels are getting so expensive! I guess as someone who just got her Master degree with no full-time job, can get a little intimidating. As I was trying to find a nice and affordable place to stay during my one week visit and present for the conference, I remembered hostel are more affordable than hotel. Even hostel are pretty pricey! I mean, for a one night in a hostel in downtown Montreal, we are looking around $56+! However, for a one night at a hotel is about $110+! Even though I bought my plane ticket to and from Montreal, I still have to figure out my lodging.....

Just my luck, I have a friend that I met while interning with the UNHCR two summer ago who is a resident from Montreal! So far, I just found out that I have a place to stay for at least most nights! For some nights, I will have to book myself for the hostels! So far, sound good...I just have to figure out transportation to and from the conference, where to eat and what to see!

Things I would love to see...

I am not a big fan of hockey but just for the fun of it, I actually would like to attend one!
