CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as possible, embrace randomness and to soak up life

ABOUT ME

I love meeting people and experiencing new worlds - I'm always up for a good conversation, for stargazing or for a crazy adventure. I get inspired by pretty much everything, and randomness seems to follow me around. Just graduated. I'll miss Montreal for its culture, randomness, live music scene, diverse communities and jazz festival. Will be studying (and surfing!) in Costa Rica for a year.

PHILOSOPHY

"On ne voit bien qu'avec le coeur."
