Interests
I am an outdoor lover : camping, hiking, canot, climbing, simple life and nature.. That makes me truly happy. My passion for beeing outdoor has brought me to study in that field, and I now am a professionnal in the conservation / ecology field.
Ecosystem discovery / plants and animals : I really enjoy discovering more and more about nature. I try to do it in an intellectual (books, classes, documentaries) but I also want to immerge myself in new places and ecosystems. I've been carrying identification guides around many hikes and I am always very curious to discover what grows where, how animals live and things that we can eat from the forest ! Harvesting and cooking forest products is a new hobby that I developped in the past year.
-I really like music and all forms of art. Drawing, singing and playing piano are hobbies that I try to have time for in priority. I really enjoy reading and movies as well.
- I also really enjoy cooking and discovering new ways of making my food more and more delicious !
-Environment / social justice are main concerns for me as an individual.
