About Me

Hi, i'm a very easy going girl and i love people, meeting you, listen to your stories.
I love outdooring, nature, fauna, eating and having fun in general.
I'm currently learning to play Ukulele, to create a band and i can sing... okay i guess.
I finished studying sign language last year and i really love practicing.
I was also a foster home for dogs in need.

Music, Movies, and Books

These days, i like to listen to a lot of different artists: Les hay babies (retro rock country funk), Mykki Blanco (rap), A Tribe Called Red (Electro by Native Canadian Folks).
My favorite books would be "Océan Mer" from Alessandro Barrico, "White fangs" from Jack London and maybe "Paroles" from Jacques Prévert.
Though i don't hate main stream movies, i love independent movies more like "Lost and Delirious".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sell all of my stuff, rent my room and leave with my back and my loved one for a huge hitchhiking trip.
Babysat a 100 animal Ranch in the dead of Winter.
Climbed the Tungurahua in Ecuador.
Hitchhiked around Jordan.
Moved to the Yukon (on the Canadian side of Alaska) to settle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to know the History and socio-political context of every place I visit. How do you live? Because I live in the North, where season are so different from each other, it is very interesting for me when I travel to learn how people adapt to climat and nature around them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can exchange so vocabulary in sign langage, teach basics of French, some bits of graphic design. I know a lot about nature and I have amazing travel stories to share. Ukulele chords, cooking, nice discutions and a lot of other things!
