  Description

  ***update** june 2025**
  
  Hello fellow, and potential workawayer!! Bienvenue!!
  
  I have been part of the workaway community for the past 7 years or so whilst travelling over seas and throughout North America. Having said that this is my first go at trying to be a host.
  
  
  
  I live near the small quaint but touristy communities called Sainte Agathe des monts and Val David in whats called the Laurentide mountains, in Quebec Canada. I have about 12 acres of forest.
  
  Excuse moi, j’apprends mon francais.
  
  I am relatively new to the area . There is several mountain bike trails, hiking trails and lakes and nature all around. I live next to Le Petit Train du Nord, which is an old steam engine(train) that connects several communities and runs along le rivière Nord, its very popular.
  
  The property has a historical past and the goal is to keep that theme alive. I am trying to create a more of an eco friendly home and make use of the property for future guests.
  
  The house is a progress but is completely comfortable. the living conditions are rustic and eclectic, but probably better than average.
