Description
We are dreamers that left the Laurentians region (Northern part of Montreal) to move 10hrs away and be self-sufficient. Our fantastic old house sits on 8 5 acres facing the Bay of Gaspé. We currently have seals with their pups at the bottom of our cliffs playing on the beaches below. We live 3 min away from 2 beaches. We live in the wonderful area of Cap aux Os, a small community surrounded by Parc Forillon. Our house has been 3/4 painted last summer, we have one wall left which will need to be done this summer. We then also will need help with our massive garden as well as cutting trees in log for the winter. Between the two of us, we speak French, English , German and Flemish.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We love meeting people and creating good food. I'm also a pianist and singer, our house is always filled with music. We have 6 chickens and a Polish rooster (we ve named them Bartosz and the Roussettes!) and a wonderful white malamute name Yakima and a little cat name Sissy.
Help
We need help with gardening, and cutting trees and getting our wood ready for the winter. Anyone with lumberjack experience would be a major plus!

My spouse grew up in Belgium so he is fluent in Flemish but it would be good to refresh it a little. He also speaks German, et we both speak English and French fluently (Id love to have the occasion to learn more German)
Accommodation
We do have a guest bedroom available, queen bed, a beautiful window with view on the front garden.
What else ...
We live surrounded by the national Park Forillon and a 20min from Gaspé. We have many people doing workaway or Woofing in the area and everyone is used to see hitch hikers and give them ride to and from the closest town. Its a nice natural environment, surrounds by 2 beaches 3 min on each side of our land. So even if you don t have a car here, you can easily travel around. ;)
