Description

Hi! I’m Kerven


I'm 20 yo French-Canadian who got into the long-term solo travel in the last year. I’m eager more than ever to connect with locals from different culture and discover new cities and countries. I'm fascinate by passionate people even though I don't share the passion, since I'm here to learn new skills. I recently started a Bachelor of Arts in which I'll mostly focus on history and sociology that became new interests of mine thanks to travels.

I had the chance to travel when I was young. I've been six time to Cuba with my family. Then came the pandemic and few (too many!) years without any travel. Then the desire of travel came back with an overnight trip to Montreal on January 2024. And not long after I solo-backpacked Australia and Indonesia for two months during Summer 2024.

3 other weeks of backpacking solo in Colombia during New Year holidays confirm me that it is what I want to do with my life. I can't wait to get into my next long-term solo backpacking trip. Until August I try to get abilities and to better understand myself with new goals to achieve both as a person and as traveler.



I CAN HELP:
🇫🇷 As a French native speaker I'd to provide help to anybody who try to learn or improve their language skills
🎸 I can teach some basics in guitar if you already have one.
🐶 I only had birds as pet, but I'm interested to help taking care of a pet.
👨🏻‍🍼I can help with childcare, create games and entertain.
🧹 And of course I will help around the house with chores.


I LOVE:
🚂 Trains and Slow Travel ✈️
I'm still a plane enthusiast, but I've become more conscious of my environmental footprint. I'm not yet ready to completely stop taking plane, but in the next years I'll try to prioritize trains and slow travel options as much as I can. I always wanted to be on a sailboat, so I got my boat driver card. I have no experience in that but I'm really eager to learn and maybe some day I will own my sailboat. I also want to cross Eurasia without flying, from Western Europe to South East Asia. Take the time to discover local cultures along the tracks.

🏛️Culture and Languages 🗣️
I'm interested to know more about the country/region I'm visiting. What happened in the past? I want to learn about the differences and similarities of other cultures. I like museums and exhibitions. Walking downtown and grab some street food help me to get the vibe of the city I'm exploring. I also like to learn the basics of the language of the countries I’m in. I hope to keep improving my English while traveling around the world. My understanding is pretty good but I'm still lacking of fluency when speaking.

📝 Poetry and Music 🎸
As well as for others I also have interest for my native language. I like to play with the words put them into poems and get a deep understanding of them. I always bring a notebook and a pen when I'm on the way in case I get an idea for something. I also write songs, but I don't sing them. I always wanted to learn to play the piano but never really had time to practice. I'm about to buy a travel guitar who will follow me along the path of my travels.

🦒 Animals and Nature 🏔️
I love natural places with wild life. I really enjoy lakes and mountains sceneries. One beautifulest wonder nature as to offer us is the night sky. Astronomy was my favorite subject to talk about when I was young. Even though I'm not following new updates, I still want to learn more about.
