ABOUT ME

Wow, that's a lot to ask.
I'm Marie (dropped the "-Pier" after I moved temporarily in England to work as an au pair) and I'm french canadian (or as I prefer, quebecoise!). I decided to take a gap year before I start university to travel around in Europe, meet some people, have a good time and learn to laugh at myself. I've been in England for a little more than 5 months, and although I've really enjoyed my stay, I have to admit that I now can't wait to start some real traveling. Being stuck in a house doing the cleaning and the washing isn't always the most exciting thing.
But anyway, I have now started my real trip and although I've lost my rail pass after only 4 days, I'm enjoying the freedom that it gives me.
I have to admit that I'm usually last minute, really sorry about that. Have to work on it... Like a lot of other stuff, as you know, I'm a work in progress, just like everybody else I guess. :)

PHILOSOPHY

I try to "Just do it".

The word "try" is important here.
