ABOUT ME
Searching all my life for it's meaning, I came back to its roots, to the land where I think I can find answers. With my partner and two daughters, we grow organic fruits and veggies that are sold as weekly baskets to families in Montreal. Hard work but meaningful.
PHILOSOPHY
I practice Falun Dafa, a mind and body exercise system from the Buddha school that is lifting the veil of illusion. I recommend it to all.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Having been hosted I could really feel how couchsurfing could reduce boundaries and help all to become one family cause opening ones space opens a door for a deeper knowing of the other. Our farm is open to all.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was hosted once before with my partner by a couchsurfing host in Guelph Ontario, we only talked on the phone, and the key was in the mailbox, we never even met cause we had to leave early the next morning.
I was blown away!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I have done by far is to have started to practice Falun Dafa. I have also worked in Papua New Guinea for a year, driven from Canada to Costa-Rica, done ocean kayaking along side killer whales in BC ....
Teach, Learn, Share
Anyone who wants to learn more about organic farming are more than welcome to spend some time on the farm. Subjects touched span from growing plants, soil fertility, welding, basic mechanics, we also work with sheep wool felting all kinds of things. Lots on transforming and preserving food as well. Vegan cooking and farming. It is vast.
If you are curious to learn about Falun Dafa, I can teach you the exercises and we can share understandings.
