Faire ce qu'on aime tout en faisant du bien autour de soi!

ABOUT ME

For English press 9 (or scroll down), y español urtimo
.......................................
J'aime etre entouree gens tout le temps, j'aime quand tout le monde est content et qu'on se complique pas la vie, je suis bien heureuse de vivre simplement. J'ai vecu à l'etranger (Bruxelles, Paris, Andalousie, NZ) mais mon nouveau nid est à Montreal! Je n'oublie pas pour autant ma fierté franco-ontarienne! (eh oui, au Canada, il y a plein de francophones hors-Quebec) Féministe, environementaliste, une nerd parmi les artistes et une artiste parmi les nerds.
......................................
I'm a very social person - you know that "alone time" peope often say they need? I don't need it. I like when everyone is happy and when things are not too complicated, I live simply... I've lived abroad often (Brussels, Paris, Andalucia, NZ) but my new home base is the vibrant city of Montreal! I'm a proud franco-ontarian - yup, there are loads of french speaking Canadians outside the province of Quebec. Feminist, environmentalist, a nerd amongst the artsies, and an artsie amongst the nerds.
......................................
Soy una persona muy social (no me gusta estar sola, nunca!). La risa es la vida. Vivi al extranjero varias veces (Bruselas, Paris, Andalucia, Nueva Zelanda...) pero my nuevo nido es Montreal! Soy francoparlante de la provincia de ONTARIO, (hay canadienses francoparlantes fuera de Quebec!) Feminista, ambientalista, nerd pero artista, que si no estoy hablando, es que estoy cantando!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Quand je recois des CSers et j'ecoute leurs histoires, c'est comme voyager sans voyager... Et quand je voyage, j'essaie d'en faire autant et d'absorber la culture qui m'entoure!
......................................

Having CSers over is like traveling without traveling... And when I travel, I try to do the same and absorb as much of the culture as possible!

......................................

Tener CSers en casa es como viajar sin viajar! I cuando viajo, intento hacer lo mismo y sumergirse en la cultura! Hablo de CS a quien sea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

J'ai hebergé plusieurs fois, et couchsurfé encore plus souvent: des experiences inoubliables a chaque coup!
......................................
I've often hosted and I have couchsurfed even more often: awesome experiences every time!
......................................
Aloje unas cuantas veces y me alojaron a mi toadavia mas veces. Experiencias fantasticas cada vez!!

Interests

J'alterne entre la vie urbaine avec mes bons amis/la famille, et le bonheur du voyage et de la nature... mon plus grand plaisir dans la vie est chanter en harmonie avec ma soeur jumelle! Bricolage, activisme (avec moderation), voyage - ou mieux, vivre à l'étranger pour un temps! J'aime les soirees costumées spontanées, les festivals de musique ethnique, le canot le camping LE HIKING, cuisiner un bon repas en bone compagnie, jouer dans le feu avec une branche, danser en fou aux concerts de souljazz, les picnics d'été, la folie de l'hiver Montréalais...
......................................
I alternate between the city life with my great friends and family, and traveling... Drawing, singing, arts in general! Harmonizing with my twin sister is simply THE best feeling in the world. I love the outdoors, traveling, or even better: living abroad! activism (with moderation), unexpected costumed parties, ethnic music festivals, strumming the guitar, canoeing-camping-HIKING, cooking a healthy dinner with friends and good wine, playing in a fire with a stick, dancing like there's no tomorrow at Souljazz concerts, Montreal's summer picnics and winter madness...
......................................
Buenos ratos con amigos y viajar. Dibujar, cantar, y artesania en general. Cantar en harmonias con mi melliza es lo mejor. Me encanta el aire libre, VIAJAR y vivir al extranjero una temporada! Soy mas montañera que playera. Me gusta el activismo (con moderacion), fiestas disfrazadas imprevistas, festivales de musica etnica, tocar la guitarra, canoa-camping-SENDERISMO, cocinar algo sano con a migos y un buen vino, un fuego para calentar los dedos, bailar como una loca en un concierto de Souljazz Orchestra, picnics en Montreal...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

J'ai rasé mes dreads pour 1000$ (en 2008), que j'ai donnés a la Societe canadienne du cancer. L'argent bien sur. pas les dreads! ark...
......................................
off the top of my head (literally, haha): shaved my dreads for a cancer research fundraiser.
