I'm 24 years old and moved to Montreal a few years ago to study art. I love painting and reading and seeing new places! I've traveled all over Western Europe and visited Japan.

I'm a full time student and spend most of my time painting and learning about art. Aside from school, I like to spend time cooking and reading, while in the summer I'm outside every day enjoying beautiful Montreal.

I love nature and thinking critically about my position in the world and how to have a positive impact. One day I'd love to go WWOOFing on a farm that practices permaculture.

Je parle Français aussi :)
