Description
Please note I am in Quebec, Canada now and you are welcome to come and help me here.

I am a Vegan Canadian male, French and Spanish teacher and Translator. I lived in different countries in all five continents. I was lucky to absorb their cultures and enrich myself, I am willing to share my knowledge with you.

I am very much interested in Spiritual growth, yoga, meditation, healthy living, healthy diet, environmental issues and protection. My other interests include Roots and Traditional music (Indian, Irish, Andes, etc.), languages, cultures, writing, psychology, etc.

I have MS (multiple sclerosis) and use a wheelchair. I am non-smoker. I spend half the year in Northern Florida in a little house surrounded by a charming forest. I live very close to an Organic Farm. I go back to Quebec (Canada) end of April, beginning of May. You are welcome to help me there also.

Juan Pablo stayed at my place for 3 weeks. He helped me a lot. I appreciated his ever smiling face and his optimistic attitude. Not only he helped me with my daily needs, he also guided me and helped me with some physical exercises adapted to my condition. He has a lot of experience in this field! He shared also about the native culture of his… read more

Michel, my first workaway, a guide and a friend for life, that's how I could summarize my stay with this extraordinary person. He is a kind person, with lots of patience and good sense of humour, it was a pleasure meeting him .

I learned a lot about healthy eating, cooking, universal culture, spirituality and other important things of life.

Bhushan stayed at my place in Quebec City for a full month. His gentle and patient nature made things unfold very smoothly. He enjoyed learning how to cook vegetarian, vegan meals. He has a great capacity of adaptability, this was appreciated. His ingeneering skills made it possible to install a speaker in my bathroom, connected to my living room… read more

This was my first workawaying experience. I stayed here for a month. It was a great learning experience for me. Michel offers deep insights in spirituality, meditation and music. Not to mention his translation skills are off the charts. And his life experiences offer you a different take on how life unfolds. His illness needs to be taken care with… read more

Nicolas spent 2 weeks at my place in Quebec City. It was a real pleasure having him here. He is so helpful, considerate and kind. I wish he could have stayed longer. He was always ready to give a helping hand and never complained. He is most welcome to come back either here in Quebec or at my place in Florida, any time he wishes.

Super expérience chez Michel !
Je suis resté 2 semaines et cela était très enrichissant. J'ai rencontré quelqu'un d'attentionné, gentil et intéressant. Je te remercie de m'avoir laissé tout le temps nécessaire pour pouvoir visiter la ville, de m'avoir fait rencontrer ton entourage et de m'avoir fais découvrir la cuisine végétarienne.

Antony is a good-hearted man. He is very compassionate, patient and tactful. He helped me a lot during his stay at my place in Quebec City. He was always ready to serve no matter at what time, day and night. He is one of the most considerate workawayers I ever got. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, honest and humane… read more

I was with Michael for almost one month!!! It was an extremely delightful experience from the beginning (to say the least). Michael is one of the most gentle and kind souls I have ever met. From the first day I arrived, he put a smile on my face by sharing wonderful stories, life lessons, amazing music, vegetarian food (sooo yummy by the way),… read more

Erick stayed at my apartment in Quebec City for one week. He helped me a lot and was always ready to offer a helping hand. He is a hard worker, he learns fast and always has a smile on his face. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good workawayer.

It was my second experience in workaway, I learned a lot with Michel, I had never done this before but the truth was very good. Michel is very flexible with the schedules, so you will have time to get to know the city, also many people will always help you, so the work you will do is very little, you will have a lot of free time. The food was very… read more

I help Michel regularly at his apartment in Quebec. The tasks are simple and the mood is light. It is always a pleasure to spend some time with Michel. I highly recommend it. You might discover beautiful music from India, Lebanon, Mexico, France, Quebec, etc. You will learn how to cook delicious vegan meals, and possibly learn how to make… read more

Michel is a very kind and patient person. In this position, I certainly learned and grew a lot more than I ever could have imagined. It is a gift to assist someone dealing with physical limitations with such a bright attitude. Michel has an undeniable twinkle in his eye and his calm demeanor makes the work meditative. On that note, he has a lot of… read more

I was fortunate enough to meet Michael in his home. I stayed a few nights to get to know each other and talk face to face. My hope was to work but the scheduling was too much to commit to. Staying here, in Florida, is a good situation to work on yourself. Eating healthy, meditation, possibly learning a new language are all very easy to access and… read more

This was easy work. If you are patient and can handle tiny tasks then this will be no problem. If you want to deepen your gentleness and understanding of self and other, this is a great workaway.
I had a fantastic time with Michael! I got time to practice my spanish- he is a patient teacher, work on my vegan cooking skills, meditate, and plenty… read more
