CURRENT MISSION

Re-focus and enjoy life! Work hard but have some fun and share stories. Make the best of every situation, laugh when Im sad and cry when Im happy.

ABOUT ME

I currently live in Montreal, my hometown. Im French but since Ive been living in an anglophone neighbourhood most of my life, Im pretty bilingual. Ive been drawing, painting and writing stories as far as I can remember. I love art, beauty, nature, colors, food, philosophy, criminology, sun, beach and happy people. Im the kind of person whos mostly relaxed and calm. However, Im surrounded with bubbly, perky and active friends. Obvioulsly I love to travel...Ive been in a few places including an amazing adventure in Seoul, South Korea. In 2010 I decided to go back to school and study Criminology. I love it!! So, right now I dont travel as much but I try to enjoy it as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

The secret to life is falling seven times and getting up eight times. (Paolo Coelho) I really do try my best and even when life gets hard I look forward. However, Im human and even if I do get down sometimes...it usually doesnt last very long. Life is too short. Opportunities are everywhere!
