Overview
About Me
I'm a french Canadian, 50y old woman. But for me, I'm still 30 !
I'm a Street-art blogger, writer and photographer.
I like travelling (on budget) all around the world to discovering this special kind of arts, meeting new peoples and sharing my experience with others.
PHILOSOPHY
My friends call me Little Bouddha !
- It's true that I'm little and short - 5'3''-100pounds but I thing the size of a person is measured not in inches but in greatness of soul.
- I'm not as wise as my friends think of course but I try to make my life and the live of others better.
Many things drive my life quest but if I want to keep it simple I can say:
1. The life is too short to be small.
2. "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
1. Like many others for a budget consideration (I'm very honest)
2. I'm always travelling alone and I recently found that couchsurfing can help me having nice and cool interactions with local people and learn news things and this is what I like the most.
Interests
I'm very, very large about my interests but 2 things specially make me awake: Street-Art/Graffitis and news things !
My passion is street-art and graffitis. That drives my life and the choices I did in the past - but that's a long story....
And if you like street-art too or are curious about it , I can introduce you to this very special from of arts and talk about that hours and hours ;-)
I also like all new things: Meeting new peoples. Learning new things. Listening new music. Discivering new places. Sharing new experiences.
More basic, I also like cooking, reading, walking for hours, relaxing with a cold beer and watching the waves crashing on the sand.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music - all kind of music with a little + for Indie but I like discovering new singers and groups specially local bands and underground music.
But if I have to name few: Radiohead, Massive Attack, Portishead, Daft Punk, Fauve, Moderat.
Movies - I'm a big movies fan ! Specially the ones that bring serious thoughts and reflexion - My fav right now : Memento and Incendies.
Books - A mix of serious and light reading. But my life is focus to follow the "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I thing making all day as a wonderfull day it's the nicer thing I have done and do.
But having left everything behind me (big job, big money) to follow my heart and my passion is probably the most amazing and incomprehensible things I've done for most of people around me.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm still attending at School of Life.
I always try to learn something new each day in order to open my mind to all things life can offers to us if we look at it without fear and too much expectation.
