After crossing Canada from west to east , I arrive in Quebec in the fall. I meet with my friend Agnès and Tom, settled in Montreal. We are joined by Romain, Cécilia and Florian, our friends from college, for ten days of vacation. Then I do a trip to Gaspésie with Martin and I visit Sarah in Boston (United States) for Thanksgiving. I decide to come back to Montreal and settle there for the winter. I rent a room in a shared flat near Jean Talon market and then volunteer in a youth hostel in the Old Port. I give many conferences about my hitchhiking world tour and research online for a boat to hitchhike across the Pacific Ocean . As the snows melt, I travel with Martin to New York and then across the United States .
