About Me

Hey guys! Long story short; after high school i studied Fashion Design in Montreal, didn't like it, so I went WWOOFing in Europe for 9 months where I got the chance to couchsurf, then I came back to Canada and studied plant science in Nova Scotia. Now I am in Montreal and I build flower gardens for a living, working mostly during the hot season and taking vacation during winter.

I'm a mix of a lot of thing, but kind, cute and friendly are always the first thing showing up in my personality. Also here's a few thing you might want to know about me:

- My nickname is Verdita (all my friends & family use my nickname)
- Mostly vegetarian
- Libra sun, rising virgo
- Kind of a clean freak (that's my virgo side)
- Queer
- Always looking to connect with nature
- Enjoy all kind of artwork, craftsmanship
- Likes dancing and swimming
- Needs warmth at all time

Do not hesitate to write to me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Surfing while I'm travelling. You see I'm not the kind of person who likes to be too much of a tourist and I enjoy witnessing the customs of the local people. That's why I use couchsurfing, to connect with locals and learn about what's their best recommendation depending on my interests and the time being.

Sadly I haven't own anything else than my bedroom to host. I'm waiting to be in a steady place to host properly, but sometime I do host friends that I've made along the path.

Music: I used to listen to a lot of indie, now my taste is more eclectic: alternative, reggae, rock, punk, electro, ambient, house, pop, rap, classical and other specific genre.

Book: I use to read many French authors, Cocteau, Modiano, Colette, Jean Genet, Simone de Beauvoir are a few. But since covid I'm mostly reading comic books, graphic novels and my fair share of non-fiction.
