Hello !
We are a family (Father(French), Mother(English), 2 children, (daughter15) and (son 11)who speak both languages but mostly French and it would be great to have a bit of extra English spoken in the home, never enough!) living in a village not far from Toulon, 25kms (halfway between Nice and Marseille), the medieval town of Hyères and the beach are 20kms away. The village is on the edge of the Massif des Maures, 500m and you are in the forest, great for walks and a real spot for mountain bikers.
We are starting a cultural centre and auberge that will function out of a lovely old chapel and a seven bedroom farm house in the beautiful Eastern Townships of Quebec. The studio has no religious affiliation. Volunteers will work with us on both the house and church as well as the surrounding property, which is located in a peaceful village in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. The official opening date of Staycation Studios is the first of July, 2012.
Our family: thats me - Maria- and Emma (12), Frieda (10) an Hannes (8).
We live close to the city-centre of Essen- and in the middle of the heart of the so called "Ruhrgebiet"- lot´s of cities around, lots of cultural events and probably the most open minded people in germany.
I have an institut (I´m training social workers in case management and Community Organising) and work a lot in the house (where we also live).
I am a Teacher Of English and I am a PC technician too, but I am now at the University reading for my BA in languages degree.
I live in a town called Passara which is about 400 Km away from the capital city. And have a sister too, we live with our parents. Mum is a teacher so is sister and dad is retired.
Our Hostel is located in L'Anse-Saint-Jean, in the Saguenay region of Quebec. Set in the woods and surrounded by an organic farm, our hostel is the best starting point for all sorts of outdoor activities (hiking, kayak, horseback riding, sailing).
L'Auberge de jeunesse du bout du monde est située à L'Anse-Saint-Jean, dans la région du Saguenay au Québec. L'auberge est entourée d'arbres et de champs agricoles en culture biologique et est le meilleur point de départ pour une variété d'activités de plein air (randonnée pédestre, kayak, randonnée équestre, voile, etc.).
