About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn about other cultures while teaching mine.

ABOUT ME

I'm an open-minded person who loves to learn new things and live new experiences. I love different cultures and languages. I studied English, German and Spanish and have some base in Portuguese. I was born in a French part of Canada, so my mother tongue is French. I love French, and I would like to share this passion with the most people as possible. I'm now working for the school board teaching French to newcomers in Montreal. My dream is to open my own language school.

I like to meet new people, especially people from other countries, so they can tell me more about their culture.

I love to laugh and to make jokes!

PHILOSOPHY

Laugh at least once a day is the key for a happy life! :) Never stop meeting different people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went in the North of Quebec (Canada) in a little native village. There, I saw polar lights for the first time of my life. It was amazing! They were moving in the sky and it looked like if they were dancing. In the North, I also could feel -50 Celsius. It was an unforgettable trip!

Getting to know amazing people while hitchhiking around my beautiful province.

Teach, Learn, Share

- I could teach you a bit of French and let you know more about my culture as a French-Canadian. Also, if you want to know more about Canada, I'm the good person for you, because I travelled all around Canada, from West to East and from South to North. I love Montreal, the city where I was born and raised, and I could show you some beautiful hidden non-touristic areas.
- I know pretty well Germany since I've lived there and travelled to multiple cities. I could teach you some words in German or stuff about the german culture.
- I would love to learn new words in other languages, to know more about your country and its history and culture.
- Share jokes from our own country is always super cool !
