CURRENT MISSION

la vie est maintenant! explore more of Canada, my homeland, and meet others who are doing the same.

ABOUT ME

My life is filled with music, cooking/eating food, languages, exploring ... I love mountains and outdoors activities, as well as the exciting culture of cities. I love meeting new people and talking with strangers on transit or on the street. My mind often goes a bit crazy with thinking, which can lead to really deep conversations or just randomly doing silly things. Its all about balance!

PHILOSOPHY

Say yes, take risks, listen to silence, and the rhythm of your surroundings, look for good in everything and you will be overwhelmed by the beauty of the world...

I'm very for natural living ... making and growing my own food is something I'd like to have part of my life when possible. I think our society has a lot to learn from more ancient ways of doing things, a way of living that will be better for the earth and better for society, creating community...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recently had a great first experience staying with people in Strasbourg and really feeling like I've created another home through couch surfing! I've also seem to randomly meet other couch surfers through talking with strangers on the street and always like who I meet! Now that I'm back in Canada I hope to be able to host and cook meals for people, introducing them to my country!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very good! An amazing way to create instant community in a new place!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very pop-culturely uneducated and don't know many movies!
