I was born and raised in Toronto, the most multicultural city in the world! My background is a combination of (can you guess?) Bob Marley, Mojito and Mehndi. I'm passionate about music, languages and travel. I play piano, guitar, cajón and I write my own songs. I am also a world music freak. I listen to all kinds of music. I'm currently doing my Masters in Ethnomusicology (world music) and my interest is in the Afro-Peruvian cajón. I speak 4 languages fluently and can say "Help, where's the bathroom!" in 17 other languages. I have travelled to every continent with the exception of Antarctica. I've lived in Morocco for 2 years, spent summers in Cuba, Côte d'Ivoire, Brazil and Peru. I hope to spend a few months in Colombia and would like to visit Iceland, Libya, Senegal and Vietnam. I love meeting people of different cultures and exchanging ideas. I especially enjoy the company of other artists: musicians, visual artists (photographers, sculptors, painters etc.), dramatic artists, writers, dancers etc. I want to live authentically. I'm considered a bit of a hippy; I reduce, reuse, recycle and recreate. I eat a predominantly raw food diet and am a certified raw food chef. I love wearing vintage clothing and creating fun slogans on t-shirts. I could live on cupuaçu (ask a Brazilian what that is) for the rest of my life. I enjoy entertaining friends and having one-on-one conversations with interesting, witty people. I don’t celebrate my birthday rather I celebrate my birth-month (I start from the 1st to the 31st). My goal is to live in South America and continue using my love of music and the arts as a way to create social and spiritual change. I love God. I love being a mother. I love my family. I love my friends. I love to laugh. I love surprises. I love learning and trying new things. I love life. Carpe Diem!
