Who am I?

My name is Charlotte, I’m 28 years old, and I’m from Montreal. I’m passionate about hiking and the outdoors, and after nearly 10 years of experience, I’ve walked more than 5,000 kilometres on trails around the world.
It all started when I was 19, during my first solo trip to New Zealand. That’s where I discovered the Kepler Track, a 60-kilometre trail, I instantly fell in love with, and the experience that sparked my passion for long-distance hiking.
Since then, every year I’ve taken on new challenges on the trails, discovering unique landscapes all around the world. Through this website, I want to share my knowledge, stories, and practical advice to inspire and support anyone who dreams of setting out on their own adventure.

My Mission

Making long-distance hiking accessible to all
When I shared my adventures during my talks, I often heard people say that long-distance hiking was only for a select few — elite athletes, fearless people, those without doubt. But my journey across France in 2024 proved the exact opposite.I met 19-year-olds and retirees in their eighties, hikers in cancer remission, women traveling alone, families with children, walkers from all over the world. They all had one thing in common: a passion for adventure.With a bit of planning, preparation, and above all, the willingness to be bold, anyone can carve their own path and set off on an adventure that truly reflects who they are.
