Born and raised in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, I have always had a passion for nature. In my youth, my grandparents had a farm located behind the Bromont ski mountainwhere I spent most of my time outdoors with our family, exploring the vast acres of land that they had. We were a large group of cousins who were all around the same age, and we w...
At 21 years old, I did not speak English, I did not really know what I wanted to do of my life. I was studying civil engineering at the University of Sherbrookeand had started working on construction sites during the summer. Although I enjoyed working outdoors on road construction projects in the summer sun, I soon realized that was not my passion....
Driving to Banff from Quebec was a long drive, covering close to 4000km or about 40 hours of driving. At that time in my life, I had never taken a plane or much traveled outside of Quebec. It was also my first time leaving home and being away from my family for several months. As a broke student, I had saved up around $1000, and I wanted to make th...

This ranch was well-known for hosting travelers from all over the world, and we were excited to be a part of the team. The ranch had a restaurant and offered accommodation with small nature cabins. So I worked as a waiter during meal times and spen...
I was originally planning to return to school in late August, but after my sister and cousin returned home, I decided to drop out of university and continue traveling.

Ultimately, this journey lead me to bring my own feature film to life. This film was a labor of love, and I spent ten years of my life writing, shooting, producing and distributing it. The experience was both rewarding and challenging, and it taught me valuable lessons that would be useful for WeChalet about hard work, persistence, and the power of...
I had never rented a chalet for myself before, and I was surprised to learn that Quebec has a large market for chalet rentals, especially in the Eastern Townships, where I was born. As I began the process of renting a cabin, I quickly realized that it was more challenging than I had anticipated. The Quebec chalet rental websites were outdated and l...
Renting this cabin made me dream of owning my own chalet in the mountains, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery and fresh, crisp air. I wanted something close to skiing and hiking, and where we could spend our evenings cozied up by the fire with beer or a cup of hot chocolate. For months, I carefully researched and compared different chalets to ...
Launching WeChalet ultimately pulled me away from working in film, as it required all of my focus and attention to get the tech startup up and running. Starting a business is not an easy task, and I had to devote all of my time, money and energy to making it a success. Fortunately, since its inception, WeChalet has grown exponentially, and today is...
