About Me

We cannot host as our apartment is super small, however we'll be happy to show you around Quebec City.
As well we are seasoned travellers, we can assist you with issues related to your trip.

CURRENT MISSION

Discover our great big earth and other living creatures

ABOUT ME

We are respectfull and we are not considering our Host as a private guide nor his home and belonging as hotel or rental agency. If we can assist in chores we will definitely give a hand, it's the least we can do for you, our parents brought us up as mindful and polite persons after all.

We will read our host's profile in order to know the person but also to comply with the house rules (if any).

We are two friendly backpackers (married couple), loving to laugh and meeting new people as well as new cultures. We enjoy all types of music and food (specially in good company.. oh yeah, we enjoy cooking too!).

*** Really important ***
Jacynthe is critically allergic to cats, kindly let us know if you had or have currently a feline.

PHILOSOPHY

Sounds really cheezy guys but... "All you need is LOVE!"
