__NOTOC__
 
I'm of the female gender. My first language in French.
 
I hitchhike mainly in North America and Europe. I'm currently roaming around Europe hitchhiking for a quick round (till December), then I will be based in [[Montreal]], [[Canada]] ). I'm recently back from a [http://www.thesuntrip.com] solar bike rally through Europe.
 
I used to live in [[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].
 
 
 
In February 2011, I started a blog in French to promote general hitchhiking culture and my publications/talks. You can find it here : [http://www.globestoppeuse.com Globestoppeuse]
 
 
 
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/globestoppeuse Couchsurfing].
 
 
 
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 me on my less updated English account].
 
 
 
==Projects==
 
 
 
I co-wrote a book with two French guys, "La bible du grand voyageur" (Lonely Planet, September 2012) - 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.
 
 
 
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]
 
 
 
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.
