About Me

ABOUT ME

I am French-canadian (québécoise) girl travelling around the world. I am currently living in Santiago, Chile. I am a musician and artist. I like painting and embroidery and every pice of art I make is inspired by nature. I have studied to be a science (physic and math) teacher, but currently working in silviculture in Western Canada in the summer. I like trekking, surfing, camping and canoe-camping and every outdoor activities. I want to learn as many languages as possible and I love to meet new people!

¡Hola! Yo soy Canadiense, he viajado por todo el mundo, y ahora estoy viviendo en Santiago de Chile. Me gusta hacer artes, y cada pintura o bordado que hago esta inspirado en la naturaleza. Estudié astrofísica para ser profesora en los institutos de educación secundaria franceses. Ahora estoy trabajando en silvicultura. Me gusta el trekking, surfear, acampar y todas las actividades al aire libre. Me encanta conocer a gente de todas partes!! Aprendí español en Costa Rica pero hablo un poco como una Chilena, ¿cachai? :)

Allô les Québécois et francophones qui voyagent au Chili, vous êtes bienvenus chez moi!
