Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Taking in as much as I can, sharing with others what I'm so lucky to have and know, AND training to run a marathon before the end of the year!
ABOUT ME
I live in and am from Montreal, Quebec. I love home and the culture here but seem to always be striving to be in movement! I'm open to anything new and love the thrill reached when discovering your limit is further than you thought. I love to meet people, to share unexpected moments of laughter and to not take myself too seriously!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Spending the night in the desert near Real de Catorce in Mexico, speaking with the "Jefe del Desierto", camping on beautiful Playa Medina in Venezuela and being woken up at dawn by the guard who helped us sneak out before the authorities arrived, spending 3 days and nights on a minuscule island in Croatia, communicating with signs and smiles.
Teach, Learn, Share
Always delighted to learn anything you want to share with you, always ready to push my limit and I'll be glad to share anything I know.
