About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore Italia and Paris for all art, beauty, and adventure!

ABOUT ME

I love to laugh, meet new friends, enjoy fine food and fine drink, adventure, lay under the afternoon sun or evening stars. I love creating with creative people, whether it's collaborative dancing, filming, or general funky art making. Currently I am a student doing academic studies in Studio Art, Cultural Studies, and Environmental Policy (an attempt to try an satisfy all my interests), avenues which allow me to work with inspiring people on a daily basis!

PHILOSOPHY

Every moment grants an opportunity to learn something new. If you look closely there is always something curious. Don't be afraid to be humbled.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed in Montreal, but long story short it was amazing! I now have friends there and I really can't wait to go back! It was the perfect summer vacation! The couchsurfing community is very warm and welcoming--I was not expecting the real "family" feel to it so quickly!

People, Art, Food (I could go for an Orange right now actually...), Movies, Walking, Swimming, MUSIC/DANCING, Good Conversations, Reading good books, British television.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent an awesome year in New Zealand WOOFing on farms, meeting great people, seeing great sights! I would love to do it again! Spending time in uni has also allowed me the opportunity to meet some really amazing people (students, teachers, artists) in a beautiful part of the country. I also had a wonderful summer in Montreal and a great winter in Toronto couchsurfing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think every person grants you a learning opportunity, it all depends whether you have the mindset to see it.
