About Me

We are a Canadian family living in the province of Québec (Richard, Christine, Yohan (16) and Ariane(15)). We like sports, the outdoors, to travel, meet people, have rich cultural experiences. We also like to help travelers when we can. We know how nice it is to have a place to stay for a day or two , and have people helping you with your trip, giving tips and advices on the things to do or see.
We hosted people a few years back, before the kids, in Sri Lanka where we lived for a year, and back here in Lévis, Canada. We don't have much space now with two teenagers, but we can try to answer any questions you have about the region :)
We are quite social, though we don't party much anymore.

PHILOSOPHY
I'm awake! I'm alive! and I feel great!!! :)
