Description
We are an easy going family, 2 parents and a 5 year old. We are looking to have an adventure for 10-12 months in a french speaking area so our daughter can develop her french skills and we can have a new experience while I am on a planned sabbatical from my job as a Social Worker at a children's hospital. We love going new places and meeting new people. so hope to have a great adventure!
