I tried to put my routes on a google map to make it more visual, but it freezes the map (too much stuff)
no edit summary
I used to live in [[Iqaluit]], [[Nunavut]] and am knowledgeable about the Canadian Arctic.
I moderate the [httphttps://www.couchsurfing.orgcom/groups/group.html?gid=12 Hitchhiking hitchhikers Hitchhikers group] on [http://www.couchsurfing.com/globestoppeuse Couchsurfing]. But it's more symbolic than anything, as Couchsurfing seems to have sabotaged it's own community. I am also on [http://www.bewelcome.org/members/globestoppeuse BeWelcome] and [https://www.trustroots.org/profile/globestoppeuse Trustroots].
You can also [http://twitter.com/#!/globestoppeuse follow me on my Twitter account], as I barely use my [http://twitter.com/#!/perilisk English account anymore].

==Publications==
I co-wrote a book with two French guys, "La Bible du grand voyageur" (Lonely Planet, July 2014) - in Spanish "La Biblia del viajero" (Lonely Planet, June 2013). It's an 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.Some early chapters are, and I released one of them, [[File:Hitchhiking_-_Neo-nomad.pdf|"Hitchhiking"]]
I contributed a story in German to [http://www.amazon.de/HiT-ThE-ROaD-Das-Tramper-Taschenbuch/dp/3844808183 HiT ThE ROaD: Das Tramper-Taschenbuch] and in French to [http://editions-cardinal.ca/ca_fr/pouceux-60-recits-de-bord-de-route.html Pouceux - 60 récits de bord de route]
