I have a Gypsy soul. I love camping, hiking, Nature, solitude, and the mountains. In Toronto, I live life as a quasi-minimalist, choosing to do rather than to have. I love my work as an elementary school French teacher. I love reading and writing. I need someone to practice my French with here in Toronto! I am thrilled to facilitate the exploring and adventures of others.

My religion: Love & Karma

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I am as concerned with the emotional footprint as much as the carbon one.
