One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I never thought I'd ever hitchhike in my life, but in Canada, many of my friends said it was easy and that they'd done it before. So, one day, I found myself at the side of the road with my thumb out for the first time ever. Then, somehow, I ended up hitchhiking 493km (306 miles) from Québec City to Sainte-Anne-des-Monts in one day. I did it completely on my own, got stranded in the middle of nowhere twice, with no tent, and when the sun was setting.. well, I thought I was totally screwed, but some really kind people came my way. I'll never forget that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

English language lessons (I have an English degree, a CELTA teaching certificate and I've been teaching since 2016), a good time filled with laughter and I'm super good at cleaning all the dishes! I'm no Gordon Ramsay, but I can also cook a nice dinner! (please lower your expectations haha I'll try my best 😂).
