Description

Hello everyone,

I am a 35 y.o, I am from France. I lived in Vancouver for 1 year back in 2012/2013.
I came back to Canada a year ago. I worked in a lodge north BC, close to Fort St John, then I worked south BC in a ranch, and finally I worked 5 months in the Yukon still in the hospitality area (at a lodge and a hostel).

I love Canada for its sceneries, its wide open spaces, the amazing wildlife, Canadian's kindness.

The last couple of years, I lived in downtown Paris in the digital area (digital ads). To be honest, I felt that my place was not there. I think that at some point you wonder about your life, the sense you want to give, what you want to accomplish.
I had in mind this desire of moving away, live something new, more meaningful.
Besides, the pandemic made me realize even more that we have only 1 life, and we should enjoy it the best we can, make new experiences and LIVE not just EXIST getting up in the morning with the same routine, following what society tells us is the right life path.

I think living abroad is the best thing that can happen in someone's life. Being outside of your comfort zone makes you learn everyday many things, make you meet so many people, lead you to make new experiences, you are more open minded.
I want to experience this again, I want to speak english everyday, why not learning another language too (portuguese - I hang out with a lot of Brazilians and lived there for a couple of months).

I got a 2 years working Visa, I have already done 1 year working in differents places to get new experiences, work with my hands, having a balance with outside / inside tasks, not being in front of a computer all day long, learn from my hosts and help out the best I can. Always happy to share life experiences, stories, jokes.
I am also very very excited to discover the wonderful nature that Canada offers.

I love walking & hiking, fishing, skiing, snowsheoing, meditating at the top of a mountain ;-)
I am very friendly, sociable, always happy to help, to learn, to talk, to share and to laugh :-)
