Marie-Ève Blanchard is a journalist and adventurer who loves words and travel. For the past five years, she has been travelling the world and blogging about her adventures, her thoughts and the people she meets along the way. Her motto is “La vida es como la espuma, por eso hay que darse come el mar,” which means “Life is like the surf, so gives yourself away like the sea.” She loves the sea, which serves as an inspiration, balm and reference point. In fact, she decided to start writing a travel blog during a trip to Gaspésie.

When travelling she follows the wind, the sea and her impulses, often accompanied by her travelling companion, Roukie, her five-year-old daughter. She has promised herself to transmit to Roukie her thirst for adventure, if not her passion for travel, as well as the ability to not be held back by fear. She’s also happy to demonstrate that it’s possible to travel as a single parent with your children... All that’s required is a bit more preparation!

With her love of language, she does more than simply describe the places and attractions she visits; she also shares her thoughts, impressions and feelings in lyrical prose.

Marie-Ève and Marie-Julie Gagnon leapt at the chance to make two trips to the maritime regions of Québec. First, accompanied by their daughters, they road-tripped through the regions of Côte-Nord, Gaspésie and Bas-Saint-Laurent, enjoying the breathtaking scenery during their many adventures. The two of them then headed to the Îles de la Madeleine, where they enjoyed the slower pace of the Islands and were charmed by the exotic beauty of this archipelago.
