I was born and raised in Toronto in a bilingual, red-headed family of travellers. My dad is Canadian and my mother French and my life has always been shared between these two cultures and countries. I moved to Paris four years ago for medical school and have been loving it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first thought of signing up after hitchhiking all around France. I met truly genuine and generous people eager to make me discover their region and culture. I remember many of the conversations we had, many years later. They always had the interesting story behind that hidden ruin in the back of the village, or suggestions on what to visit next!

Interests

I love swimming in the ocean, cooking strange out-of-the-recipe-book meals and pastry, reading the local literature of the country I am in, playing the piano and knitting.

Music, Movies, and Books

Difficult question! I Canada I enjoy reading Joseph Boyden while in France I'll go through an Amin Maalouf novel in a matter of hours. In Australia, I am discovering local authors such as Tim Winton and Peter Carey.
