Overview
About Me
After finishing my bachelor's degree in Geography, I tried a few jobs and decided to go for a new adventure. I now plan to travel to South America, beginning with Colombia, even though I'll miss my cat and my friends very much hihi :)
I love discovering new things and places, meeting new people, appreciating the beauty of the world around me, sailing, hiking and camping. I looooove nature, the sea, animals and all living things.
I also love writing, playing / listening to music, doing film photography, arts in general and food :)
I like manual work like gardening and building wood furniture.
I am a very easy going, simple, empathetic and open-minded person. I love learning new things and helping people. Also, I have both the Canadian and the French citizenship since my parents are from Corsica, hence my love for the sea and travel :)
I learned Spanish in school a while ago, but I think it is still pretty effective hihi ! :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
When travelling in foreign places, having a place where to stay is always appreciated.
I'd like to discover new things and places while having cordial and authentic relations with the people I meet.
This is a great occasion to share a bit of myself and to learn a bit from everyone !
Interests
I like pretty much anything and love to try new things.
My main centers of interest are hiking, the sea, camping, music, walking, and learning about new things ! I love experimenting and enjoying a simple life:)

Music, Movies, and Books
Music : I love blues very much (I am a trumpet player myself), traditional folk, bluegrass, gypsy jazz, spanish guitar and RnB/soul. I love many artists such as Amy Winehouse, Louis Armstrong, Boards of Canada, Pomme, Paco Ibanez, Django Reinhardt, Jorge Cafrune, Elvis Presley, Rodriguez, Fleet Foxes and Lhasa de Sela.
Movies : I like movies with great visual shots and atmospheres, Studio Ghibli, 2000's movies, westerns, movies from different cultures and movies about outdoors expeditions.
Books : I like books that make you reflect on the meaning of life, travel stories, Carlos Ruiz Zafon's stories, poetry, classic comic books such as Lucky Luke and Tintin and many authors from the province of Quebec (where I am from).
I am very curious to discover new music, books and movies !
