ABOUT ME I am an aspiring art conservator from Quรฉbec, Quรฉbec. I like to learn from meeting new people and going new places. If not particularly outgoing, I'm definitely easygoing and I get along with people in general. (Je suis une future restauratrice d'objets culturels de Quรฉbec, Quรฉbec.

My Interests
I have always loved visual arts and literature. I always have my camera and my sketchbook when travelling. And a few books as well. I love museums and libraries. I also love the outdoors and the natural world. I love to run, hike, and trek. I used to whine when my parents made me and my siblings hike mountains while travelling as kids, but it definitely grew on me. Those are long-term commitments, but, truth be said, I am interested in countless things and the list is ever-changing. In the last months, amongst other things, I tried to grow a bonsai (but started from a oak seed and it didn't prove to be successful), I have started to write/illustrate a book, I started to learn German, discovered an interest in cooking (and in outdoors markets)... (Jโai toujours aimรฉ les arts visuels et la littรฉrature. Jโai toujours ma camรฉra et mon cahier ร dessin avec moi quand je voyage, en plus de quelques livres. Jโaime les musรฉes et les bibliothรจques et les librairies. Jโaime le plein air. Jโaime courir, faire de la marche en nature ou de la randonnรฉe. Ce sont quelques-uns de mes intรฉrรชts plus stables, mais je suis en fait le genre de personne qui se passionne dโun rien, je suis intรฉressรฉe par un grand nombre de choses et la liste est toujours en รฉvolution! Dans les derniers mois, jโai essayรฉ de faire pousser un bonsaรฏ (un รฉchec), jโai commencรฉ ร apprendre lโallemand, me suis dรฉcouvert un intรฉrรชt pour la cuisine (et les marchรฉs)โฆ )
