About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as i can and meet new people from everywhere!

ABOUT ME

I'm a social, friendly, curious, easy-going person. Travelling is definitely my biggest passion. I love meeting people from anywhere in the world.

I think it's important to step out of our comfort zone, be challenged, see what's out there, learn new and exciting things.

Now im back in Montreal after living in Australia for 2 amazing years. I was going for a few months, ended up staying 2 years and had the time of my life! I've been everywhere from big cities, beachtowns, outback to tiny places in the middle of nowhere!

I also spent a bit of time in Fiji, Bali, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Borneo and New Zealand.

I also travelled a lot around Canada. I lived in a different province every summer just because i like to experience other cities and discover new places. So i went to Alberta, BC, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan. I enjoyed staying there for a few months and living like a local somewhere away from home to feel the vibe of the place.

My next projet is to go on a safari in Africa! But for now, it's time to settle back in Montréal, waiting for the next big trip :)

PHILOSOPHY

Im a positive person and i try to find the positive in any situation.

Keeping this in mind whenever things go wrong:
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
