Hello there !
I'm a French Canadian who also speaks English.
I'm a quiet being, looking for simplicity, peace and joy.
I'm currently taking a sabbatical year from my job as an accountant in order to explore the world.
I'm looking to travel mostly to connect with nature and give myself space and time to practice meditation, while looking for new experiences, to help, learn, share and meet new people.
I'm interested in everything that relates to music, especially singing, literature, cinema, psychology, history, philosophy, spirituality, among other great things.
I'm also interested to learn different ways of living, more sustainably if possible, and to meet people who dare think outside the box and are trying to live in a different way from what society expects of them. So far, I did some woofing in Ecuador in 2020 on a fruit farm off the grid, and it was a really unique and unforgettable experience. I've aslo travelled to France twice, Latin America and Eastern Canada a few times.
If you feel like meeting someone who's mature, quiet, curious, open-minded, hardworking, caring and dedicated, it would be my pleasure to be part of your community !

Bonjour à tous !
Je suis Québécois (Canadien), bilingue, un être tranquille, discret, qui recherche la simplicité, la paix et la joie.
Je suis présentement en année sabbatique de mon métier de comptable afin d'explorer le monde. Je cherche à voyager cet été principalement pour me ressourcer et connecter avec la nature, ainsi que pour me donner l'espace et le temps de méditer, tout en faisant de nouvelles expériences; pour aider, partager et faire de nouvelles rencontres.
Je suis intéressé par tout ce qui touche à la musique, surtout le chant, la littérature, le cinéma, la psychologie, l'Histoire, la philosophie, la spiritualité, entre autres.
Même si j'ai beaucoup à apprendre dans ce domaine, je m'intéresse également à des modes de vies différents, plus écologiques et durables idéalement, et j'aimerais rencontrer des gens qui osent penser différemment et vivre d'une façon différente de ce que la société pourrait attendre de nous.
À date, à part mes expériences professionnelles artistiques et en gestion, comptabilité et restauration, j'ai fait du woofing en 2020 en Équateur sur une terre d'arbres fruitiers en auto-suffisance, ce qui fut une expérience unique et inoubliable. Sinon j'ai voyagé en France deux fois, en Amérique Latine plusieurs fois, ainsi que dans les provinces maritimes du Canada à quelques reprises.
Si vous désirez rencontrer quelqu'un de mature, discret, curieux, ouvert d'esprit, assidu, attentionné et dévoué, il me fera grand plaisir de pouvoir vous offrir mon aide !
Au plaisir !Interests
