I'd like to make a living on the road, i.e. be able to earn 3000 € yearly to secure my life and eventually get some health insurance. I'm working on writing and conferences to achieve that goal. I co-wrote a book with two French guys, it should be out in March "La bible du grand voyageur" (Lonely Planet, September 2012 (Publisher still to be confirmed). It's a howto manual about alternative travelling : hitchhiking, boat/plane hitchhiking, cargo ships, ridesharing, but also urban foraging (and foraging in general), hospex networks, spontaneous hospitality, urban camping, etc. I'd like to see it translated to English.

I hitchhiked mainly in North America and Europe.
I'm currently based in [[Montreal]], [[Canada]] and recently back from [[Iqaluit]], [[Nunavut]].
I'm trying to gather hitchhikers from/in Quebec in a group. If you are interested in joining, [https://groups.google.com/group/pouceux click here] or [http://www.facebook.com/pages/Regroupement-des-Pouceux-du-Qu%C3%A9bec/145523162201719 join us on Facebook].
In February 2011, I started a website blog in French to promote a general hitchhiking culture and my publications/talks. You can find it here : [http://www.globestoppeuse.com La Globe-stoppeuseGlobestoppeuse]
I give talks on travelling solo, especially for women. I believe it is a road to self-development. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J4sZl4YV2I Watch it on YouTube.]
I moderate the [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=12 Hitchhiking group] on [http://www.couchsurfing.com/perilisk globestoppeuse Couchsurfing]. Find more about me on [http://anick.projectvolunteering.net my homepage].
I also like sharing my [http://delicious.com/perilisk/hitchhiking Collection of Bookmarks on Hitchhiking], AFAIK the biggest available right now on the net. You can also [http://twitter.com/#!/globestoppeuse follow me on my French Twitter account] or [http://twitter.com/#!/perilisk Follow follow me on Twittermy less updated English account].
==Projects==
I also research as a dilettante on the following topics : hitchhiking, mobility, contemporary nomadism, women perspectives, sexual assaults and fear, etc. I'm willing to collaborate with anyone researching those topics, participating in interviews, sharing papers, ideas or networks. I'm not attached to any university.
== Experience ==
I estimate my hitchhiking experience to be around 110,000 km now.
