Overview
About Me
How to best describe me? Hmm...
I am very positive and light hearted individual. I like to laugh a lot and I don’t take life to seriously, although I am an environmentalist! I’m a nature enthusiast, kayaking, canoeing, trekking, gardening, camping and getting out to the cabin. I’d rather be outside. Forever a dog lover, my shepherd/husky is my favourite jogging partner. Health is important to me, that being said I don’t follow any diet.
Oh, I’m a bit of a clean freak. Very tidy, not organized, but surfaces will be disinfected with vinegar if I’m around.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all types of music. Depending on my mood, soul music accompanies my cabin life, smokehouse blues when I'm cooking, salsa and latin when I'm alone and feel like dancing, old school country or folk music for car rides (Shovels and Rope is my favourite duo atm) pop and hip hop for the gym.
I love french films Amelie is my favourite and I recently watched Les Intouchables, it was great. Other then that any Sci-fi, Action, Comedies or Wes Anderson film will do.
Pride and Prejudice is my ultimate favourite book, I read it after every break up... I've had many breakups...
Mitch Alborn for those religious reads, Paulo Coelho... I’m not an “intellectual” reader, I read to escape reality.
Harry Potter is pretty cool, otherwise I'll read anything light and fictional..
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I stayed in Ostia, outside of Rome, I spent and entire day walking along the mediterranean ocean eating gelati and pizza... Nothing Crazy but still a special day.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love speaking French, it's my first language, I'll happily teach you some french or just share a glass of wine and cheese with you. I also enjoy origami, if you would like to learn how to make a paper crane, I would happily show you a quick how to.
