About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn about life, humanity, and myself...

ABOUT ME

Spontaneous, open....I'm a jolly easy going young lady with a quirky sense of humor, a penchance for good food and good company, with enough seriousness lingering below the surface to have made it alive and well to the ripe age of 20 years old! Right now, I'm a Psychology and French student from Canada on an exchange to France for the 2009/10 year. I plan of course to do some travelling while I'm here, and I love meeting new people so I decided to join the couchsurfing community to make sure I got in plenty of both this year!

PHILOSOPHY

Try it once or you'll regret it when you're in the old fart's home!

I find personal history (why you are the way you are) and quirks and habits (what makes you what you are) fascinating, and I believe you can soak up this human essence in any number of ways, because life is what you make of it and you get what it is that you're looking for, in one way or another. coffee dates, cooking together, of course good old conversation, whatever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At a 5 nights music festival where you camped overnight, my tent broke in a windstorm, and I lived under a plastic tarp tied to two pine trees for the next couple nights, through constant rain downpour....I wasn't going to give up and go home! The show must go on!
