ABOUT ME

Moved across Canada from a small town in southern Ontario to the west coast, Vancouver, at 18; and from then they couldn't get me to stay in one place very long. A bit of a beach bum, I prefer to be by and in the water. I have a big heart for animals, special needs persons and children. I originally came to France because I didn't know what I wanted to do besides travelling, since I have been doing so since I was small and can't stand any more schooling (happy to learn, yet cannot sit still and be ordered around for hours). I don't judge anyone, I just focus on happiness and the freedom to do everything under the sun. I live for new friends, adventure, surprises, sunshine and my family no matter where I am in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Fight club, Juno, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, Repo! The genetic Opera, Batman series, Moulin Rouge, Momento, Get Him to the Greek, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I love an assortment, mainly with some sort of complicated plot, artistic value or is just plain hilarious, not really any spy movies or government theories. I don't watch t.v normally but Arrested Development would have to be a favourite.
Books: My favourite author is Chuck Palahniuk, his works are genius. I also enjoy F Scott Fitzgerald. I read a lot, my favourites are about the flaws of society namely in it being luxurious, oblivious and apathetic.
Music: I'm a happy girl when I'm listening to music so it's always on if I'm around. I'm very much open to a musical variety and my Itunes can vouch for that, but mostly into alternative rock, indie, folk. To name a few in my mix: Bon Iver, The Strokes, Grimes, The xx, Bloc party, Death Cab for Cutie, Third Eye Blind, Arcade Fire, Vampire Weekend, Alexisonfire
