I returned to Canada from a France after a nice long stay in 2010 and spent some time living in my hometown, Ottawa. I moved back to Toronto in 2012, where I had previously lived for quite a few years. I took up a job and went back to school part-time for Holistic Nutrition, Reiki and Hypnosis.

I adore the outdoors, animals, the arts, cooking and being places I have never been.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I learned about CS when I was living in Aix-en-Provence. I met some super people who warmly welcomed me into the CS community. I loved learning about how it all works and have felt a little disconnected from the organization and it's amazing members for far too long.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: All films by Dorris Dörrie, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Almodóvar...actually, I love just about any films - nonsense, action, science fiction, romantic comedies, drama, thrillers....

Music: All Canadian independent music - I was the bar manager for a roots/folk/independent music venue for about 7 years, so I've been really pampered. I also love French music, traditional and current. I'm a big fan of Manu Chao, Nick Cave, Neko Case, Babylon Circus, Emilie Loizeau, classical music, opera...

Books: I like to read a lot of non fiction in the nutrition field
