About Me

ABOUT ME

Je suis à la maîtrise en littérature française. J'habite dans le quartier Côte-des-Neiges à Montréal, à la limite du quartier Westmount et à 10 minutes en autobus du centre-ville. Je travaille à l'Université de Montréal où j'étudie également. Je suis végétarienne.

J'ai voyagé principalement en Europe (Italie, France, Espagne, Angleterre, Monaco, Vatican) et aux États-Unis, à Cuba et en République Dominicaine.

Hi! I'm a student at Université de Montréal, and I study french literature. I live in Montreal. I'm a vegetarian. I travelled, mostly in Europe but also many times to New York, Cuba et Dominican Republic.

PHILOSOPHY

As I want to become a writer and a university teacher, I plan to have a really busy life when I get older. For now, I want to enjoy my life and liberty and want to explore as many places and meet as many interesting people as I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've travelled a bit around the world and I would have to say that the most beautiful moment af all is when I spend a week and a half in Avignon for the theatre festival. I studied drama at Conservatoire Lasalle when I was younger and seeing all these plays was fantastic. Also, the city is wonderful.

Teach, Learn, Share

Je souhaite en apprendre plus sur les cultures avec lesquelles je ne suis pas familière et évidemment partager la mienne. Pour moi, CS n'est pas une façon de se trouver un hotel gratuit. Au contraire, je pense que c'est une chance unique une expérience de vie.

I would like to know a lot about other cultures and share mine too. For me, CS is not about free hotel, it's about getting unique life experience.
