ABOUT ME

After graduating from university, I traveled and volunteered in South America for 7 months with many positive couch-surfing experiences. Countries visited: Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil and Colombia.

Traveling makes you experience the unknown, if not better than formal education, it opens one eyes to see what our world is all about; the vast inequalities, the poverty, the mind-blowing landscapes, the diversity of cultures, the kindness and generosity of people and much more!

My friends would tend to say I'm a friendly, open-minded, well-traveled and easy-going person. Any kind of outdoors and sports related activities will always make me happy!

I enjoy learning from others and giving back to the community by volunteering in sustainability and ethical initiatives such as the Sierra Club.

Currently working in Montreal for a Sports and Social organization.
