Inside of that trip, i accross Corsica by the mountain on foot, I did a bike trip in Italy, i traveled in France for a month to see friends. I traveled in Brazil 6 weeks and now i'm in Bolivia and Perou for 6 weeks. I come from Quebec, Canada. Im from a family of 13 children, 10 boys and 3 girls. I like to be with a people around. I like outdoor sport. i like try new stuff. Living in the moment, it's important. I like meeting new people, exchange new idea, try new food, listen new music etc..
