'' What a joy to be alive! ''

My name is Ariane, i'm from Quebec, Canada. Besides travelling, I love everything related to nature, I especially like to go camping, hiking and kayaking! I also love cooking (vegan or vegetarian meals), reading, philosophy and arts.

I'm currently studying to be an Ethics and Religious culture teacher for high schoolers and I am a French and English part time teacher for children. I also used to work as a florist and I'm still passionate about flowers. I'm a very friendly open minded person, I love meeting new people and learning about their culture! In fact I love learning about everythings and share ideas and knowledge!

Finally, I love animals and I sometimes do some charity work at an animals sanctuary here in Quebec! I have a dog too (who is one of my bestfriend), her name is Ella (I had to mentinned her :)!)

I can't wait to meet you!!! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I experienced a lot of extrodinary advendures because just the fact that I am alive and happy and surrounded with beautiful people is quite extrodinary! I find a lot of joy in meeting people, connecting with them and having fulfilling conversations with them, so I guess my favourite experiences would be ones that involve that.

Besides that, a few years ago I spent a month in beautiful tuscany and I harvested olives in the most beautiful scenery! That wast my firts solo trip and it was a really fulfilling experience. It helped me grow so much as a person and it forced me to get out of my comfort zone a bit since at this time I used to be a bit shy.
