About

A foodie, yogie and fleurista! I'm based in Montreal. I'm traveling with my mouth – anywhere I can taste and discover new flavors is my goal while traveling.

Travel style

I'm all about food, gastronomic and authentic street food. I love views and chasing epic sunsets. You'll find me where the locals live. I'm always searching for new experiences and activities. I love being comfortable at the place I'm staying though – great bathroom and very nice king-sized bed!
