Description

Hello! Nice to e-meet you!

My name is Vincent (Vinnie/Vin's). I am a graduate of Film Studies, who just arrived in Vancouver on Oct. 5th after a four-day road trip from Montreal.
I am looking to work in casting here, but the Film Industry being in recovery from the strikes, I expect this to be a long process! So I thought I would take that time to focus on my writing, and meet new people in order to have some ties in that new city.

Would love the opportunity to be shown around and cook you some of my homemade burgers and fries!

I had a Wooffing experience in Germany with a friend 6 years ago that went very well, and I've done some couch surfing/spontaneous homestays during my travels too.

I am very clean and respectful, and I guarantee interesting conversations!

More details about your skills

Keen to learn
Quick to act
Responsible and organized

Used to journey, I can adapt easily. Though serious when it comes to work, I know how to have fun!

My hard skills are basically the ones listed in the section 'Type of help':
Thanks to a previous workaway experience in Bavaria, I know about managing a farm, working with wood... I love manual labor and repairing/improving stuff!
My father taught me some things about construction work and gardening, and I never hesitate to get my hands dirty!
My mother was once a childminder so I learnt a few things about child care, and I also gave private lessons to a pupil for a year.

MY INTERESTS

- Art
Fine-Arts Museums are the first thing I visit in a new city!
I do photography, sculpture, poetry... I like to sing and dance but in my case I wouldn't qualify that as artistic expression ha ha

- Music
All genres (from Country to Disco, from Gospel to Hard Rock,...) from 1954 to 1987!
Very much into the 60's and 70's.
Favorite band: The Rolling Stones / Favorite solo performer: Elvis Presley
Love classical music too.

- Movies
I studied and work in film so I can't sum that up in one paragraph! As a conversation starter let's say I resonate with American cinema from the 70's (Coppola, Spielberg, Kubrick,...). Bruce Lee and Saturday Night Fever influenced me as a child, favorite series is The X-Files. Rick & Morty kinda made its place in my heart too.

- Books
Mostly philosophy and knowledge-heavy non-fiction, and occasionally some litterature classics. Current long-term readings include Plato's Republic and Le Comte de Monte-Cristo.
Not a day without using some online encyclopedia. I'll often favor recorded lectures and podcasts to actual books for their flexibility.
Used to read a lot of Stephen King as a teenager.


MY PAST TRIPS

I have traveled the world from the youngest age!
A non-exhaustive list includes Egypt, Algeria, Liberia, Japan, Thailand, Mexico, a lot of the USA, Canada, France (including Martinique), England/Wales/Scotland, Norway/Sweden/Denmark, Romania, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal (Azores), parts of Italy and Germany,...
