About Me

Hi everyone! I'm travelling in Canada with my husband Jérémy at the moment :-) Our idea is to go from Vancouver to Montréal.
We love meeting people along the way as it's so much more fun and enriching than just driving from place to place. That's why we also like wwoofing, so that we can meet people and be useful during our stay (and not just be tourists :-) ).

Other than that, we like hiking and be in nature in general, visit museum to get to know the place we visit a bit more and we like good food and good movies as well!

We are too easy-going, flexible people who want to discover the world and have a great time with people :-) We adapt easily to other people's lifestyle and that's what we like!

I'm into languages (I learned many but I'm only fluent in French and English because I lack practice for the others) as I studied linguistics (in Belgium and Norway) and Jérémy is an IT guy. He just finished his master but he's also a self-taught man in his field and others.

Back home and when we travel we try to be conscious about our consumption (food, clothes, appliances, etc) and its consequences for us, other people and the environment. We like to buy stuff that are durable and try not to fall into the advertisement world's traps :-) We also try to stay away from social media as much as we can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleep under the night sky in the australian desert, horse riding in the field of interior Mongolia and, more recently... our van caught on fire in Vancouver Island so we try to find ways to keep on travelling here in Canada :-)
