Hooked on adventure and the great outdoors!
I am deeply passionate about the outdoors and travelling. Despite being a globe-trotter, I love coming back to my home of Quebec where there are so many sports, culinary and cultural discoveries to be made. I am also interested in the cause for the environment and everything related to the health of body and mind. My years of experience in the fields of communication and tourism have sparked my curiosity and given me a taste of adventure! Epicurean, hyperactive and into almost everything, I am always happy to share Quebec’s treasures with you in writing and images. Come explore my world and be the first to hear my suggestions on activities that will take you to water, land and sky!

| My favourites |
Adventure
The palisades via ferrata in the Charlevoix. |

Picnicing at the Cep d’Argent vineyard in the Eastern Townships. |

Le Nordik Nature Spa in the Outaouais; I love going in the springtime when it's still cool outside. |

The aerial park at Aventure Laflèche or the campground at the mountain lodge Au Diable vert. |

Everything related to circus arts: a show at the Tohu or the Cirque du Soleil in Montréal or Québec. |

The small refuge at the peak of Mount Saint-Joseph at Parc national du Mont-Mégantic.
|
Sports and the Great Outdoors
The Acropole des Draveurs trail at Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie and, of course, the Groulx Mountains.
|
Urban
Summer festivals in Montréal, especially the Francofolies where I always discover new music!
|
Vacation Resort
I have a soft spot for Estrimont in the Eastern Townships, because of the great view of Mount Orford and access to outdoor whirlpools.
|
Maritime
Le Paradis marin in Bergeronnes, for its nearby marine mammals and easy access to my favourite sports: diving and sea kayaking. |
