ABOUT US

We are active and joyful people, very open to the world and simple. Melissa is a physical therapist and work in a small hospital. Philippe is an agronomist. We like life, laughing, dancing, traveling, gardening, cooking, and sometime relaxing if we have extra time (which is hard with our new baby). We also like healthy and organic food ( mostly from our garden during summer). Melissa likes practicing yoga, meditation and read spiritual book. She also like to bike road and cyclotourism. She did some biking trip ( Tuscon/Arizona, Cuba few times, France and Switzerland). Philippe run, bike and enjoy manual tasks.

PHILOSOPHY

Living the present moment !!! We are the master of our lives.
