__NOTOC__
'''Female - French Canadian - Nomad'''
I hitchhike mainly in North America and Europe. I'm currently based in [[Montreal]], [[Canada]].
Since February 2011, I maintain [http://www.globestoppeuse.com Globestoppeuse], a blog in French to promote general hitchhiking culture and my publications/talks. There's also a [http://www.scoop.it/t/auto-stop/|media watch] on Scoop.it, focussing on French media, but not only.
I give talks on various travel-related topics such as dumpster diving, hitchhiking, solar cycling and travelling solo as a women. The latter has been filmed and is available on [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J4sZl4YV2I YouTube.]
I work for [http://www.thesuntrip.com|The Sun Trip], a solar bike rally throughout Eurasia I took part in 2013.
I used to live in [[Iqaluit]], [[Nunavut]] and am knowledgeable about the Canadian Arctic.
I moderate the [http://www.couchsurfing.org/group.html?gid=12 Hitchhiking 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].
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].
I research on the following topics as a dilettante: 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.
[[File:Globestoppeuse-Nomad.png|thumb|center|400px|I have lived in a few places.]]
==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.
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]
See my blog for a complete list of publications.
