Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Exploring and learning is my mission in life; Meeting new people from everywhere brings both of them!
ABOUT ME
I was once told I was the perfect balance between the city and the country side (ok it was in french so Im not too sure how to translate this...). I believe Im the kind of girl who will find her way either in the silence of woods or in the noise and night live of big cities. I love life and try to enjoy every minutes of it. At the moment I live in a charming small town near the river, about an hour from Quebec city. Art and culture are the main attraction although the river itself makes it a very popular destination.
