  • Description

    I’m a very curious and passionate french-canadian who finds joy in life’s simple pleasures. I always enjoy watching the sunset, sharing meals with friends and reading a good book. As an active person, I enjoy skiing, climbing, hiking, surfing and camping. I’m always ready to go on adventures and I like discovering new places. I'm also a big music lover, always happy to share playlists and learn about new local artists:)

    In past travels, I've had the pleasure of staying with local families and really enjoyed the experience. I love connecting with people and discovering their way of living. I've met some of my dearest friends while traveling. Last year, I've spent 6 months away in Europe as part of a semester abroad in Austria. I've also worked for a non-profit organization in British-Columbia, Canada, where I've worked mostly in the gardens. I stayed with a local during that summer, and I truly cherished the opportunity to connect and share everyday life in her company.

  • More details about your skills

    I’ve recently finished my bachelor’s degree in environmental sciences. I’ve worked in the field as an apprentice biologist in quite isolated places in northern Quebec and really enjoyed it. I became quite handy with fixing and building stuff.
    I’ve worked in gardens and fields before. I like to get my hands dirty to grow plenty of plants and veggies!
    I’ve briefly studied art in college so creative projects also interest me! I like painting, drawing and sculpting. I’ve also started film photography recently.
