About Me
CURRENT MISSION
gobbling life in all its forms
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in the South West of France, and been living in Canada for about 15 years.
After having travelled for many years around the globe and lived in several big cities, I have settled with my life partner in the countryside of New Brunswick, on Canada's east coast.
We bought a historic house built in the 1920's with lots of land, and we have a huge vegetable garden, about 20 egg-laying chickens, and several bee hives that makes delicious honey.
We have a guest room, and plenty of space for camping.
PHILOSOPHY
Life outside the box!
