  • Description

    Hello there!!!

    I'm from Montreal, Canada and it's time for me to get back to my backpacker life. I have a lot of experience in Workaway since I have 9 beautiful experiences. I learned so much through these experiences, from gardening, working in a hotel and housekeeping, cooking with a chef, building sustainable houses with clay and wood chips, intentional community management and working with kids. But the most important of all, I feel like the people I meet and the cultural exchange are what make the experience magical and it stays with me in my everyday life. I am ready to meet all of you and share what makes us unique individuals.

    A little bit of me: I am a very social and easy going person. I love being in big groups and don’t mind living with a lot of people. I am always willing to go on many adventures and I am a very good laugher. I also like to be alone and do my own thing. Either way I am very adaptable. I am very respectful and love to make great connections with people talking about many different topics like ecology, feminism and many more.
    I also love the outdoors. I like to hike, canoe/kayak, ski, bike and I just started to climb. I enjoy cooking and trying new foods!!

    I have a university degree in geography where I learned a lot about geomorphology, but most importantly how to work outside. I have experience in tourism since I worked in a hotel in British Columbia in Canada for a winter season and in a camping/kayaking organization in Quebec by the Saint-Lawrence river. I have a lot of skills with people and customer service. I also have experience in a little cafe.
    I have a lot of experience with kids since I worked for 6 years in summer camps and worked for a year in an elementary school.

    I speak french, english and would love to learn Spanish (trying with duolingo, but nothing like a real life conversation to learn)

    I hope to hear from you soon!

  • More details about your skills

    I have a lot of experience with kids and adults since I have worked in a summer camp for 6 years. In this job I have done a lot of different tasks like some weeding, driving mini-buses, canoe trips, cooking for groups of kids, entertaining and much more. I have also worked in a school where I teached french to kids, a little bit of basketball and knitting.
    My experience in Workaway was on a permaculture farm with animals and on a dog sledding company. Im am very comfortable with animals and being outdoors all day. I also learned from gardening, working in a hotel and housekeeping, cooking with a chef, building sustainable houses with clay and wood chips and intentional community management.
