ABOUT ME

Hey! It is not always easy to describe ourself :S
To start, I think I love trying and discovering new things. I love learning about exactly everything. (Ok, maybe not about cars)
I study anthropology and I did some field work in archeology in Montreal. I loved it! I would now love to do more but in many different places in the world!
I really love music, it takes a big part in my life. I really like discovering new artists and listening to all kinds of genre of music. Dancing is also my favourite part about music!
I also love being outdoors.
I like meeting and talking with new people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wouldn't consider these experiences like "amazing" but they still meant something to me and they are the reason why I am who I am now and why I continue to travel! So there:
I've been to Ecuador and there I lived in a small community of Tsachilas in Bua where I helped plant thousands of plants of cacao in the objective of helping the economy of the community. The year after I went in Togo, in the small village of Djikame to help with the construction of latrines. Those projects were organized in a partnership with the local communities and with local organizations. The importance of such partnerships is to focus the help directly where they need it as well as creating a sense of leadership within those communities. It is very important for me to really do cooperation with the local population, who will have the most part of the decisions to make concerning the project, rather then just being there to provide money. y. But eventhough that is an objective, it is really hard to do such a thing.
