About Me

French canadian girl from Montreal and a proud, gluttonous vegetarian.
I'm a quirky, clumsy, somewhat quiet(read: introverted) person with a pinch of giggles and a lot of good will.
My main thing is to draw. Tiny colourful plants, pretty pictures, cooking delicious foods and wandering around are things that make my soul happy.
As a dweller of the great american north, I put maple syrup in EVERYTHING.

School aside, I am a student of life and a peoplewatcher. Still working on decoding human beings but I making progress everyday ~

I have a lot of admiration for fearless, enthusiastic, compassionate, creative, and passionate folks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is my way of finding humility, purpose and beauty. When I travel, I aim to wwoof or workaway. I don't like being a tourist; I like to see the place through the eyes of a local and help out :)
I have never couchsurfed nor hosted people yet, but I'm eager to do it because I am sure it will be fantastic.

Interests

Drawing, painting, animated movies, cooking vegan food, traveling, green living, mycology, gardening, playing games, hiking, being outside, wandering around.

Uh, also, I am in love with Norway?

Music, Movies, and Books

Music? Folk, rock, gypsie-inspired. Wold music influences. Indie, a bit of electro... havent updated my playlist in a while, maybe you could share your favourites with me? :)

Movies? Animation, cartoons included.

Books? Graphic novels, bande dessinée. Colourful pictures with witty smirks are a must.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran after a flock of sheeps on the hills of Hardangerfjorden in Norway. Sheperd's duty!
Made a kickass gluten-free, soy-free, vegan mac n' cheeze once.
Saved a few birdies from freezing to death!

Also a few other "spectacular" events, but I usually find my greatest pleasure in the koselig side of life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hvis du praktiser å snakke norsk med meg jeg ville vær veldig glad :)

I'm always welcoming of new recipies, as long as they are vegetarian or vegan ;)

I'm a bit hopeless with music, but i'd love to learn the ukulele, guitar or the flute.

I'm open to anything you would like to share about the world, green living, your life story or your culture. <3

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking! Art! A cuppa tea! My culture!

I can teach you French (canadian french! That's exotic!), english, how to draw and make pretty picures in general.

Maybe I could draw a picture of you or of something you like?
