Jasmine Nadeau savours life with humour, passion and gentleness. A lover of animals, nature, colours and words, she writes or paints in her studio with her cat nearby and her faithful Great Dane lying at her feet. She’s had a special place in her heart for Québec by the Sea since she spent her summers as a child fishing for smelt along the shore in Notre-Dame-du-Portage. Later, as a blogger, she travelled throughout the maritime regions of Québec, sharing her fishing stories, nature adventures, foodie getaways, favourite hotels and best finds.
