Next travels: Fall of 2025, Europe

I’m back at it with travelling! Will mainly explore the south of France, with some stops in Switzerland, Paris, and Amsterdam, over 5 weeks. Looking for some beach and hiking time with the locals, along with some fun nights out! Hope to meet you soon.

24 year-old 🏳️‍🌈 girl wandering around the world. I have no interest getting stuck in the North American 8 to 4 job life yet, so I am travelling the world for the foreseeable future. Backpacking for 3 months in Southeast Asia in 2023 changed my life and made me fall in love with travelling, especially solo.

I studied Criminology in university in Canada, where I also played football/soccer.

I can fluently speak both French and English:).

My mantra: Just do it, otherwise you may regret it! I try to live every day as if it was the last, so I am always seeking to try and discover new things and experiences:). I know that everything always works itself out in the end.

Solo travelling is fun to see new places, but for me, I do it especially for the amazing people I meet along the way! I love to get reminded that the world is filled with genuine humans. I’ve realized through my travels that connecting and bonding with people is one of the main things that fulfills me in life; especially strangers, since they can teach you so much.

Hope to meet you soon:).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I slept in an abandoned bunker in Albania;

I explored some of the biggest caves in the world in Vietnam;

I did bungee jumping in Vancouver;

I went polar swimming in Norway;

I climbed a volcano in Guatemala and also did paragliding for the first time in that country;

I slept on a bamboo bed inside a shelter we built with our own bare hands in northern Laos;

I spent 4 months learning how to kitesurf in Türkiye while volunteering at a surf house there.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have loads of experience hanging around kids! I would also love to discuss books and places I have visited, along with Criminology, which is what I studied in school.

I also have experience using the film editing program Premiere Pro - could teach you how to use that as well if it’s something that interests you!

I can also do some cooking 🧑‍🍳.
