CURRENT MISSION Explore life and humankind, feed my heart, body and soul ABOUT ME I thrive experiencing new places and new people. My best friends say I'm the most talkative and slow-eating person they know, that I'm fun to hang out with and very trustworthy too. After working for music venues back in France, I travelled through Canada and arrived in the Yukon in 2007. I fell in love with this place that I've explored during the past years by foot, on a bike, in a canoe, on skis... The wilderness of the land feeds me as much as the vibrant arts scene of the big cities, so I try to find a balance between both! PHILOSOPHY You can do anything but you can't do everything
Interested in Adventure Sports

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I'm open to host someone on the couch for a couple of nights, and will be happy to meet people and stay on their couches when I'll travel! Being a tour-biker myself I'd be more than happy to host bikers and give some info on the Yukon roads.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Doing the ascent of the Kilimandjaro with my Dad, paddling the very remote Wind River and biking the Dempster Highway with my girlfriends, I feel so fortunate to have been able to share such experiences with people I love
Teach, Learn, Share
As I like to try everything I'm not a specialist in anything, but could give a few tips on the use of social medias, budget making, cooking crepes, basics in bike maintenance or cross-country skiing, I could even remember a few tricks for knitting!
My Interests
