Hi everybody! We are a family of 5. 3 kids of actually 11, 9 and 6
My husband is a physical educator at an hospital and also train triathletes. I work in an emergency room. The kids love to play games, bike and hang out with the other kids around the street. Paradoxically, we are a calm family but we love to learn about other!
We are in the French part of Canada and speak French at home. The kids don't speak English but are learning at school and many of our friends are fluent in English. We can communicate easily in English ourselves, sometime searching for some words but it won't cause any problem to communicate appropriately.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

.We love travelling and we plan to take a break from work for a year and travel the world some day. Meanwhile, as we are not ready for this big project, we want to travel the world at home by welcoming and learning to know people from around this beautiful world!

Interests

• reading
• bike
• walk in nature
• chickens!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like documentaries (wich I can't watch often because the kids are not happy about that and choose something else!!!), comedies, Quebec Humor shows, historic films and books - reading now the last Ken Follet.
I like classical and pop music.
I like to listen to my daughter learning to play cello.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel alone with my kids. It is so rewarding to bring them around the world and see them discover all those places and people, and see through their eyes how they learn to open to other ways of living. Now they ask me to travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

We would be glad to learn about how other families live or travel by immersing in their culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you come here, We can visit the national park de la Gatineau wich we live at the entrance. There, during summer, you can mountain bike or road bike, you can walk in the forest, you can swim in lakes, kayak or paddle board.
