Bonjour Chris,
Feels great to read about non-conformity – I do not feel so much as the Lone Ranger now that I know about your writing. I never new how to express it as clearly as you do. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge.
All the best in 2009

Hi Chris,

Just discovered your site through the article in La Presse. Bravo for your lifestyle!

We gave up our professional careers and the stress that came along with them a couple of years ago. We are now spending more time traveling, with our children in tow. We’re on our second year abroad. And as you point out it doesn’t have to be expensive.

Your readers may be interested in learning about a holiday alternative, called home exchanging. “You stay in my house while I stay in yours.”

We loved the concept, not only for the significant savings but also the people we met while exchanging homes, that we started our own home exchange site (EchangeVacances.com).

It’s a great way to eliminate accommodation and car rental costs. And for families with children, it gives them the comfort of home. Rather than visiting a destination as a tourist you get to vacation living like a local.

Enjoy your travels!

Salut Chris,

Je viens de lire l’article dans la Presse et c’est très impressionnant… J’ai moi-même habité en Europe de l’Est et en Asie et visité plus de 50 pays et j’ai bien l’intention de continuer. Voyager est la chose la plus merveilleuse qui soit!

I just found out your blog and will read it aviditly… be sure! By the way… your french is very good! If you come in Montreal just let it know!

A+

Hey Chris.
I just subscribed to your mailing list. I’m looking forward to reading it. I started the same process as you a few years back and I am glad I did. It’s comforting to know I am not an isolated excentric by not owning a car or a tv and renting an apartment by choice.

Here’s a quote I think represents well how I see life:
“L’ennui n’aquit un jour de l’uniformité.” Muriel Barbery

Keep up the good work!

Bravo!
