Description
Bonjour!
We are a French-canadian family of three, Josianne and Adrian with baby Elena who will accomplish her first revolution around the sun next December. Adrian takes his roots from Romania where he occasionally visits.
After traveling extensively in our twenties and early thirties, we have settled in a bucolic environment in the french speaking Canadian province of Quebec, where we now live on a farmstead growing medicinal herbs and plants and working to become self-sufficient with our fruits and vegetables. We still have a lot to learn!
Josianne has a background in physical rehabilitation therapist and she now practices a massage therapist.
Adrian is a graduate in History, has worked in the hostelry business for many years and he is now part-time teaching plus farming.

Adrian has a little more than basic knowledge with tools and carpentry, but with a slight lack of confidence. Still feel he needs to be lead in some projects. Having worked many years in the hostelry industry, he feels very comfortable with clientele.

Celtina and Misael welcomed me for two weeks, like if we had known each other for many years. Their involvement with the nearby community of San Francisco taught me more about responsibility and humility. It has been many years now that they have given… read more
