Speaks

I studied in French all my life, it's my first language. I also studied in English and im very at ease speaking and writing it. In the moment im learning spanish, since I was about 16 years old, I've done trips to Latin America and im able to get around but I would like to get better. Since I arrived in South America in august, I've taken spanish classes in Lima. It's one of my big goals in life to be fluent in spanish because I consider it as being one of the most important language to know.

About me

At the moment, I just finish my studies in social sciences in Cegep and im now ready to go to university. Im planning to study probably in anthropologie because I love learning more and more about cultures and differences in traditional ways of living. I love to travel, to meet people, to discuss about many subjects, to listen music and danse sometimes to it. I like to read, love fùtbol and sports in general. I love to hike and to see nice landscapes. I like the feeling you get after finishing something you worked hard for, it seems to me like a very rewarding thing. Im 20 years old, I love to learn things, languages, general information and to develop new interest. Finally i love people and I consider myself as being very social!

Preferred location

Im currently in Arequipa in southern Peru and im planning on travelling down south trough Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. My itinerary isn't completely decided so i might go else where also depending on the opportunities I have the chance to get. At the moment I have about 7/8 months in front of me to travel and to discover the cultures from country to country.

Skills

I have studied in social science and my main passion in life in the moment is to meet other cultures and experience new things. Im a very social person who loves being with people! Im a 20 years old canadian who speaks french as a first language. My mother is Irish so im fluent in english also and at the moment im learning spanish more and more wich is also one of my main goals in the time to come. Im really like sports and im quite in a good shape soo any manual work would be fine with me. I have worked in a organic banana farm in Costa Rica last year and help my father, who is a agronomist in the cranberrie sector, on the fields of Quėbec producers. Also I've worked in Alberta in costumer service in a cafe, and spend some time helping people moving there house. In general, anything would suit me. Im really looking forward to spending some time in a community as a local would and to help out!
