I am from Niagara Falls, Canada. I have a degree in fashion design and am a very visual, creative person. For 3 years I had my own business selling clothing I made, and also filmed videos about my different design projects. I am a passionate vegan cook, and enjoy helping with gardening, decorating, and painting. For fun I love to read and do yoga :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm into Siddhartha from Herman Hess for the moment, I love Walden from Thoreau, "Into the Forest" from Hegland, "The Deer Man" from Delorme.

I'm a fan of Joaquin Phoenix, when he plays in "Her" or "The Joker". I love movies like"Parasites" and "triangle of sadness". Any movies that analyses and denounces the society we live in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I carried heavy stuff with a bicycle, a two person mattress, and big punching bag, moving slower make everything possible. I grew mushrooms in my basement, mushrooms are amazing! I slept in a shelf, it is amazing? I don't know ^^

Teach, Learn, Share

I've done my t-shirt myself, I'm learning embroidery, I'm starting harmonica and watercolor painting. i'm travelling with a skateboard that can carry my bag and allow me to commute when I stay somewhere.

I love to work with wood, to build, repair, arrange, make daily life sweeter.
I'm into Minimalism for 5 years now and I have a philosophy and methods to declutter.
I'm into Veganism for +- 5 years and I have great tips to cook and go towards less suffering consumption.
I would love to go torwards raw food and to listen to my real needs.

I would love to learn Qi Quong and daily rituals to make a better connection with energies and the world around.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to make experimentations with fermented food and drinks. I've done already Miso paste, living mustard, tofu from and fermented vegan cheese from soy beans, done with milk kefir. My heart remains in second fermentation kombucha with herbs like lavenders. And Kimchi, when done well, changes lifes :D
