*** Si vous parlez français, écrivez-moi en français SVP!***

I'm a passionnate girl. I try to become a good artist. I study theater for many reasons, but mostly because I am fascinated by human rituals and aesthetic expression. I would like to see those rituals have an impact on communities, and play my part on this planet. I love immortal playwritters, but also more contemporary artists. I am currently doing my masters in Theater, as well as managing an arts collective and working a « day job » in fundraising part time. I like to think of myself as a political activist, and I am part of the independentist movement in Québec. Obviously, travelling is an important part of my life. I would like to see as many places as possible in my life. I just love meeting great people, eating great food, discovering great music.

PHILOSOPHY
Life is about freedom. Freedom is about choices. Choices are about conscience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This network used to be a big part of how I see travels: real connexions between people, far away from the turist office. Now that it went public, I’m a little more reluctant to use it, but I can still find awesome people in it, so...!

Solidarity is very important to me, and I think that you should be able to see the world even if you don't have the money to stay in hostels, which are becoming more commercial everyday.

As a host as well as a guest, I am looking for people who are not afraid to communicate, who value respect and honnesty, and who have a passion to share. Staying up late at night to talk about stuff does not scare me.

Si vous êtes francophones, SVP ne m'écrivez pas en anglais, je suis Québécoise!
