About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life

ABOUT ME

I am a person who loves to travel and to meet new people. I am very sociable, open-minded and I like to try new things.

I say that discovering the world helps me to discover myself because when I travel, I meet people along my way that are definitely changing something in me. Opening yourself to other culture, to other people, also help you to learn about yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

The universe doesn't give you the people you want, it gives you the people you need:
to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you're meant to be!

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done a volunteer service program for youth called Katimavik (Doing. Learning. Building a nation… one community at a time.) This nine month experience of travelling and volunteering gave me the chance to discover Canada’s rich cultural, social, linguistic and geographical diversity. I was living in a house with ten other people from all over the country..we had to cook, share rooms, etc.. It was the most rewarding learning experience I ever done.
