Canadian living in Provence, France
Currently teaching English, immersing in French, and traveling as much as I can
Mostly just trying to go with the flow as I learn how to "take it easy" and "lighten up while I still can" (The Eagles)

Music, Movies, and Books

singer-songwriters... no matter the genre, I'm a sucker for good lyrics

i live vicariously through rom-coms

Wild Geese/Martha Ostenso (prairie gothic classic), The Beach/Alex Garland, Chorus of Mushrooms/Hiromi Goto... I'm your go-to for Canadian literature recommendations and as such, I'm in great need of recommendations that have nothing to do with complex lives in Canada

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

lost a stare down after about 20 minutes and 3 meters between myself and a grizzly in the rocky mountains

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to hold a handstand or play crib, or speak English if you need/like
I have lots to learn too
I will share my company and my culture

What I Can Share with Hosts

Disclaimer: I'm a terrible cook, but I'm eager to improve. However, I'm a great cleaner and would be happy to help around the home in anyway I can.
