Description
Hi I’m Lucie and I'm on month 5/9 of my Big Canadian Adventure!
In December 2022 I moved to Kenya and spent 5 magical months living in Mombasa. I was surrounded by an incredibly diverse mix of cultures, languages and people and loved every moment- so decided to keep going!
I then spent a month in remote Bulgaria having the most incredible time at an eco-homestead. I returned to the UK, got my IEC visa and set off for Vancouver in November 2023 😁
I spent 3 months on the beautiful Gabriola island and am now back in the Greater Vancouver area looking for my next host.
After spending the better part of a decade living and working in cities, I’m looking to learn about living slowly, sustainably & sensationally!
With every trip I take, my goal is to really get a taste of what a day in the life is like as a local. To truly understand the culture, the importance and the beauty of their home through your eyes.

More details about your skills
I am independent, hard working and always looking for an opportunity to learn new skills. I love to cook and have experience in cooking vegan/vegetarian as well as fish & meat.
I grew up around animals and love working with them- I owned my own horse and have had dogs from as far back as I can remember- from reactive Great Danes to devoted Labradors. I also used to raise rescue hens and desperately miss doing so as sadly London doesn’t accommodate!
I have nannied on/off over my life and love being with kids. I also have experience working with the elderly and people that speak another language/having to teach or build conversation in English. I’m very interpersonal and compassionate towards others which is why I enjoy working with people and animals as much as I do.
I’m a true creative who loves to do crafts, dance and most importantly write (the latter being the one subject I can confidently speak on!) I also love music- my singing hasn’t made TOO many people deaf either ;) Practically speaking, I have experience in copywriting, videography, editing, photography and creative direction for events.
I’ve worked many customer/client-facing roles and love getting to interact with so many different types of people. Practically speaking I’ve worked in catering, retail, tourism and the food industry.

At first, because she is unapologetic, tough and speaks quite loud, I thought she would be an arrogant vegetarian English lady who would just get annoyed by my own French arrogance.
How wrong I was! She has proven to be very nice - wait no, very kind, yes that's the word, open-minded,… read more
