My name is Andy-Riwan Gernet and I am a French Expat in Montréal and the creator of this blog. I had the chance to travel to 20 different countries and I choose one to call home: Canada. Since 2017, I am living in Montréal, first as a Working Holiday Visa Maker, then an Expat’.
I have a passion for all things exploring. Whether in my own city of Montréal, in Québec, in Canada or around the world. I can’t keep looking for new things to discover.
A SHORT HISTORY:
Born and raise in France, I studied a Bachelor in Law, Accounting and Economics before going to Ireland as an Erasmus in order to learn English. Then, I started a Master degree in Communication & Marketing and graduated from Audencia – Sciencescom School.
From 2010 to 2014, I have worked for multiple prestigious clients as Jean-Paul Gaultier, New York City, Tourism Australia, Tourism Montréal, Avis, Adidas, and many others… as a Communication and Marketing Consultant.
In 2014, I decided to go to Australia for a 2 years trip as a Working Holiday Visa Maker and ended up extending my return by exploring South East (Indonesia and Thailand) as well as the incredible India.
AND TODAY?
Today, after 5 years of living in Montréal, I decided to call this country home for now with friends and a part of my family. The decision of staying in Canada didn’t take me long because as a member of the LGBT Community, a life in Canada was the right choice for me. But not only as Montréal is a vibrant city full of Festivals, Restaurants and diversity. And Canada has definitely a lot to offer.
