I am Canadian. I study Art History in Montreal. I am interested in the intersection point of separate thoughts and mediums. I take photos. With my photos, I am interested in shadows, their formation versatility - how they can integrate themselves into all surfaces and textures to create something new. Currently, I am producing a body of work with a base focus on human independence and isolation. I travel often and am interested in experiencing the variations of day to day life in different places and how places comparatively function. I like to be outside, around green.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to talk and discuss with new people. I really appreciate couchsurfing and how it's set up can allow experiences that are a give and take - I love exploring places and learning about them from people that live in said place and know their stuff - creating new connections with new people. I love to share books, music, what I'm studying, conversations(!) . When I'm in Montreal, I look forward to hosting people and paying forward all of the amazing, lovely times and connections I've made using couchsurfing.
