CURRENT MISSION

Memento Vivere - Travel as much as possible while I'm in Europe

ABOUT ME

I'm a university student in Canada, currently on exchange in France.
I'm majoring in International Relations, attempting to learn French & Spanish and one day hope to go into International Law (pro-bono and human rights work).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just joined couchsurfing in the hopes of finding places to stay while travelling around Europe until the end of May, but once back home in Canada I may actually be able to offer a couch :-) For now, my living situation forbids it, but I'm happy to meet with anyone for coffee in Lyon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to bake, cook and sew. I will happily cook for you or teach you to make something if I know how! I love baking, so if you provide a kitchen, I can pay you for my stay with cookies or cupcakes or tarts...I'm beginning to learn many traditional French desserts! :-)
