Place of birth: Montreal, Canada

Introduction: At 20 years old, with my backpack, I went off alone on the first big trip of my life... and never quite came back. Since then, I've kept on traveling, leaving little pieces of my heart on every continent. When I travel, I like to settle in the same country for several months to fully immerse myself in the local culture... and I fall in love every time. Traveling gives me the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, to exchange with people who show me a different reality, and to grow through these unique experiences. Then, when I return home, I rediscover Quebec from a new perspective, which makes me love it even more each time. Do you see why I studied tourism? I encourage everyone to travel, and I am happy to be able to assist you in making your travels happen, thus combining my work with my greatest passion!

A tip for your trip to the USA  As everywhere, look up! Take the time to stop and admire with childlike eyes. Moreover, exchanges with locals will be warmest and enriching. Be open to these encounters... your stay will become unique and unforgettable. That's the beauty of travel!

What is my favorite season in the USA?  Summer!! This season is simply magical: the sun shines, birds sing, trees are green, and everyone is happy!! :D

What souvenir to bring back from the United States?  During my travels, I like to keep a small journal with brief anecdotes, some good addresses, and even slip in objects as souvenirs like a bird's feather, a leaf, a show ticket, etc.

Don't forget to pack in your luggage:  Leave behind the cell phone and electronic games, and bring a deck of cards! Often a great way to bring people together, it's an item that takes up very little space in your luggage but allows you to create so many beautiful memories!

What is my dream trip?  Every time I'm asked this question, I have a different answer because I always end up making them come true. For several months now, I've had South Africa and Namibia in my sights... but this dream trip will surely become a reality sooner or later! ;)
