About Me

CURRENT MISSION:
Peacefullness, love and funk.

ABOUT ME:
We are eco friendly positive beings.

I have two beautiful kids, Youri 11 and Kumi 8.

We live in a beautiful place, with nature all around us.

We are pesco-vegetarian, respectful and we produce almost zero trash.
We gather herbs, fruits and mushrooms from the forest and grow a good part of the vegetables we eat. We complete with organic local stuff, at least we try!

Everybody is welcome in our home!
Any gender, any age. Kids or not.

Our neighbours are friendly and welcoming. We organise fiestas and bonfires.

ABOUT THE PLACE:
St-Adolphe-d'Howard is a small town of 3200 people surrounded by mountains. It has 85 lakes. The town is built around 2 major lakes.

It is situated at 1h15 from Montréal. There is a bus that goes to St-Sauveur (from Berri-Uqam bus station downtown Montréal). If available, I could pick you up at the Saint-Sauveur stop (or my mother or friends). Otherwise, you have to hitchhike to St-Adolphe, which is 20 km from St-Sauveur :).

My house is situated in the small ski resort (mountain bike and hiking in summer). If you walk 400m down the mountain, there is a beautiful small public beach, a microbrewery and a pizzeria (the best in the world, wood-fired oven pizzas). The little town center begins there.

House: 3 floors. We sleep upstairs. Second floor is the main. First would be all yours. There is a queen size bed there, a double papasan and a cozy wood stove.

We have 2 kayaks, 1 paddleboard and a couple of bikes. I could guide you through our beautiful lakes, with their small islands and their beaches, or up the mountains….the view is quite pretty. In winter, I can share snowshoes, sleds and ice skates. You can also rent alpine skis in the ski station close to the house. It’s quite cheap.

Normally, I work from 8h to 17h, Monday to Friday.

PHILOSOPHY:
The earth spins a lot....so....let's take it easy, with a smile at least :)
