Meet Alex, a quirky and introspective third-year Environmental Science student at the University of Waterloo. Having spent a summer interning in the heart of Paris, Alex often reminisces about the city's quiet corners and the hidden gems that escape most tourists' radar. With a penchant for urban exploration and a love for culinary delights, Alex finds humor in the contrasts of bustling city life and the solitude that sometimes comes with it. When not studying or seeking out the best smokehouses, Alex can be found sketching the city's landscapes in a well-loved notebook.
