  • Description

    Hi there! We are a young couple from Montreal, Canada and we enjoy exploring our country and other parts of the world! Here is a little bit about us:

    -> Arina
    I’ve a degree in International Business from Dawson College in Montreal. Alongside my studies I’m a cross‑country runner, which keeps me grounded, disciplined, and motivated. I’m deeply curious about geography, culture, languages, and history. I love learning through reading, meeting new people and volunteering. I regularly take part in cultural events and community service.

    Previously, I served in the Canadian Army Cadets, rising to Chief Warrant Officer (highest possible rank). I learned about leadership, discipline and service. Now, I'm serving as an infanteer in the Canadian Army Reserves. In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking, practicing positive thinking while commuting :) I also like spending time outdoors with my younger brother and our dog Jack‑Russell terrier (Amour). I’m drawn to nature, simplicity and personal growth. With Maxim, I travel to connect, understandand evolve.

    -> Max  
    I'm passionate about learning, staying healthy, exploring new things, and discovering new perspectives. I've a bachelor's degree in software engineering from  ETS (École de technologie supérieure) and an associate degree in electronics engineering technology from Dawson College. I currently work as a software developer, and have experience in mentorship and sales.

    I love moving and challenging my body and mind. I ran two marathons, and I continue running. I also box and do strength training. I also used to play hockey, and table tennis. I like hiking and appreciate what nature has to offer. Thanks to my girlfriend, I've been going outside more often.


    During our workways, we’re excited to share what we know and to learn about customs from our hosts! Follow Arina's social media pages to see diverse sport related content and fun vlogs.

    More details about my language interests
    I’m passionate about languages. I’m fluent in French and Russian and would be happy to help others practice either one. I’m currently working on improving my Spanish and always excited to learn new languages. It's something I see as both a fun challenge and a powerful way to connect with people from different cultures. I’d love to find a language buddy to exchange and grow together!

  • More details about your skills

    As an army cadet, I have a passion for geography and history, so when I have the chance to learn something new about the culture or the economical situation of a country, I take this opportunity in order to stay informed. Plus, I love to plan family trips and suggest places to visit. I embrace challenges in life and develop worldwide connections.
    I consider myself as a "people person", someone who can talk to anyone! As an IB (International Baccalaureate) student, I learned a lot about the world and I am ready to put my learning into practice. I am sure that my great time management will allow me to set priorities and manage my daily time.
    I value simple things, such as walks outside, or reading a book. I love going on trails and explore new places. I can easily adapt to a new environment and I am good with maps! My friends call me "Better version of Google Maps".
    Each year, I am participating in volunteering activities. With my friend, we went to plant trees in the neighborhood school. Last year, I helped kids with their homework and and also helped an alimentary organisation (Breakfast Club of Canada) by collecting donation.

  • What else ...

    An interesting fact about me: I am the provincial champion in Rhythmic Gymnastics!
    Sport is my everything and I can't live without it. I love hiking, swimming, biking and climbing mountains. I also can play some songs on ukulele and I enjoy drawing in my free time. I fell in love with reading after finding out the existence of Harry Potter book series. My favorite genre is mystery (Agatha Christie is such an amazing author!!!)
    Plus, I adore dogs an taking care of them! My favorite game is kind of basic, it's Monopoly. Simple and fun, and that's all it taking to have fun with a group of friends. Anther one that I absolutely love is TTMC, which is a french trivia game.
