Our Family
We are an active family of 4 with two girls in their late teens. Over the years, we have worked and lived overseas in Australia, Colombia, England and The Netherlands. We're looking for adventures, international connections and local experiences in new places.
Joe is a High School teacher and Laura is an Elementary school teacher in Ottawa. One girl attends a local CEGEP (pre-University) and the other is at McGill University. We have 2 sweet cats that love to sleep and chase chipmunks.
Traveling and connecting with new cultures is important to us. We are nature lovers and enjoy hiking, canoeing, biking, cross country skiing and anything else that connects us to the outdoors. Our girls join us but prefer the idea of visiting a busy city with new cultures and experiences. We would love a balance of the two.
There are many things to see and experience in Chelsea, in the province of Quebec and in Canada.
We would be happy to help you organize your experience here and truly showcase Canada.

What a wonderful exchange! We had a wonderful 3 week in Joe and Laura's home. It was perfectly prepared and all facilities lived up to expectations.
Fantastische mensen , mooie huis, mooie omgeving, Canada is fantastisch!
Laura et Joe sont très gentils et serviables. Nous avons eu de nombreux échanges et comptons nous revoir cet été.
Ce fut un échange extraordinaire. La maison de Laura est typique canadienne et tout près de la rivière Gatineau sur laquelle nous avons passé beaucoup de temps. Laura et sa famille ont été très respectueux !
