About me

I'm born in Quebec city (Canada) and lived in a rural county (Portneuf) in the moutainous outskirt of Quebec city all my childhood, basically starting to hitch when I was missing the yellow bus to school at about 13yo. Hitching in your localities where everyone knew everyone was most likely easy.

I studied in Sherbrooke by the Vermont State Border, before crossing the pond to live in Belgium (Leuven and Brussels) for a few years to complete my studies and currently living in England (Poole / Dorset) where I hitched already a couple of time to London or back to the continent.

Shittiest experience:

  • Being stuck in a desert between Finnmark and Lappland, freezing and having a flu

Greatest experience:

  • London -> Brussels within 5h
  • Brussels -> Nordkapp -> Helsinki -> Brussels
  • A ride from Copenhaguen to Paris
  • Hitching from Ulm (Germany) to Barcelona (Spain) with a companion and having the chance to use all our different language skills to catch different rides (German - French - English - Dutch - Estonian - Spanish)
  • Just walking along the road and having someone stop to pick me up simply because of my Canadian flag on my backpack
  • Being invited for dinner and accomodation several times in France
  • Hitching to work in England

Contribution
