I am a French Canadian girl. I grew up very close to Ottawa, and happened to do all my university education (Bachelor + Master) in Ottawa, in english. I am therefore very fluent in english as well. I have studied geology during my undergrad, and focused more into geophysics during my Master. I love earth sciences but my real passion is everything concerning words. I am finishing a certificate in writing so I can work in this field.

I am a very easy going person who likes the beauty of simplicity. I listen a lot to others, and like when I find people with altruistic and open-minded behavior.

CURRENT MISSION

Spread the idea of humanist education

PHILOSOPHY

Simplicity.
Will.
Mind opening.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Get better immersed in the culture that is different from where I live. It is also the best way to understand my surroundings, meet people and build new 'intercontinental' friendly relationships.

Interests

Learning - I litteraly wish I could learn everything from this world.
Growing - closely related to 'learning', but from an insider point of view.
Crafting - I love playing with ink, pen, papers, coal, I love making jewels.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen a lot to electronic music (downtempo, idm, glitch, electro-swing, dubstep, dark psy, psybient), but I really enjoy reggae music (Bob Marley), progressive and psychadelic rock (Pink Floyd, Genesis). And of course music related to my roots, Quebec folk music :)

I am a big reader and love literature, I have lots of favorite books for the thoughts and feelings they bring - I however poorly remember names and facts from these books. One author that I cherish is Milan Kundera.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the Huayna Potosi (6088 m) in Bolivia! One of the biggest thing I've done and that I am proud of.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach french and english, I can share my quebecker experience, share meals, share lots of smiles... and my whole personality!

I am happy to learn everything that makes up the culture of somebody else.
