Description

Hello, world! I'm happy we found each other.

I'm Mike, originally from Montreal, Canada, but you can find me anywhere on Earth.

I've been off-and-on the road for the last 15 years, exploring different regions and trying different lifestyles. More recently, I've been travelling at a slower pace, taking my time in different spots while incorporating these interesting Workaway experiences along the way. Every experience I've had here has been incredible, and I would like to continue contributing to this community, and help you with your project in the best way I can!

People describe me as a joyful, reliable, honest and opened-minded person. I'm always ready to learn new skills — just show me once and you'll get it done!

On a daily basis, I wake up early and get the most out of every moment. I love the great outdoors, climbing big mountains, I'm a huge animal lover, and I don't drink or smoke.

Here are some quick links to references/comments from places that have hosted me in the past:

More about me:

Worldwide wanderer and thrill seeker, 55 countries visited; hundreds of people met.

I love sports, the outdoors, travel, arts, languages, culture and music. I have many interests and passions, and like to dig deeper into each subject that I am interested in. I believe that my greatest talent is human contact. I am a jovial, good-humoured person with great listening skills. I love to advise people and help them to the best of my knowledge. With my many travel experiences, I have acquired a very good ability to adapt to any situation (which also makes great stories). I love meeting new people and experiencing new things.

I lived in Central America for two years (Guatemala and Panama) and it gave me a whole set of new skills, and of course, opened my mind to concepts like minimalism and frugalism. Since then, I have tried to expand my comfort zone as often as possible. Whether it's simply getting lost in the Souks of Marrakech, camping in the wild jungle of Malaysia, going down the Death Road on a mountain bike, surfing the curves of the Himalayas on the top of a bus in Nepal or to stand near an erupting volcano in Guatemala — wherever there's an opportunity for adventure, that's where you'll find me. For me, life is full of possibilities and if you stay open to it, it just weaves itself together.

My new life goals are to take the time to explore and discover the world while taking the time to live; travel slower to enjoy more. Over time, I've realised that I prefer to invest myself and focus on small-scale, but human-focused projects. For several years now, I have been overseeing the logistics and schedule at Films Oiseau de Nuit. I am in charge of the planning and overseeing the shooting of the various films.

Here are some bits and pieces of documentaries I've worked on in the last few years and can give you an idea of the type of travels I generally do:
