J'aime ma vie!

Connect Deeply with Nature:
Our program is set in a breathtaking Canadian forest, offering you the chance to live and work in the heart of nature. Unlike urban or less secluded volunteer opportunities, our location provides a sanctuary where the natural world is right at your doorstep. Here, you can immerse yourself fully in the rhythms of the forest and its wildlife.

A Human and Loving Approach:
Rooted in the philosophy of loving life, our approach to volunteering is deeply human and filled with love. We strive to create a supportive and warm environment where every volunteer feels valued and appreciated. Our community is built on mutual respect, care, and the shared joy of making a positive impact.

Meet Martin and Caroline, a dynamic tandem owning this paradisiac piece of land. Martin, a dedicated veterinarian and nature enthusiast, brings a deep understanding of wildlife and forestry. His passion enhances our sanctuary, providing a rich, immersive experience for all volunteers. Caroline, founder of "J'aime ma vie" movement and happiness coach, illuminates paths to personal fulfillment. Her commitment to human well-being transforms our domain into a heaven for personal growth and happiness. Together, we create an environment where love for nature and personal development intersect. We offer an unique experience for those looking to make a difference and explore their own life journeys in a simple way. Join us for an adventure that nurtures mind, body, and soul.

I had such a wonderful time with Martin (and the family❤️). He’s an amazing human through and through and he really cares about his volunteers. The work is enjoyable but you have to be prepared to work hard - if you are looking for an easy, cheap place to live then look elsewhere - we care at J’aime Ma Vie! Merci pour tous 😁

My stay at Je Ma Vie was amazing! I connected right away with the other packers, and Martin and his family were always super helpful and caring about our well-being. The work is hard but really rewarding — being in contact with nature all day teaches you so much. The vibe of the project reflects Martin and Caroline’s energy, and I loved the chance to join meditations and other activities. Martin is a great leader who can navigate through stressful situations. Thank you so much everything!

Sin duda una experiencia inolvidable, si estás pensando venir... Aviéntate a la aventura, aprenderás nuevas habilidades y sobretodo aprenderás cosas sobre ti mismo y como ser una mejor persona.

Procura ocupar repelente para mosquitos, y enfrentar la soledad y la desconexión del internet, está será una experiencia nueva para ti.

Si lees esto, te deseo un viaje agradable, éxito mochilero, gracias Ja ma vie, gracias Martin.

Martin is an excellent host and made my first worldpackers experience magnificent. From good communication before arrival all the way through to the final goodbye he made us feel welcomed. The day-to-day work felt balanced and engaging. He gave us a lot of responsibility and free agency which allowed for a very flexible schedule. Overall I would recommend him as a host to my friends and family

Martin and family were like a ray of sunshine for us. Everything was made so easy for us and was a truly immersive experience . Quite forest life, very enjoyable walks to do around, lake and river access, work is not that hard especially if your mood is happy and you will make friends because they make you feel like you are part of the family. We stayed in our own cabin which is just getting finished and got everything we needed and more. Cannot thank enough for the welcome, the great treatment and the wholesome goodbye too. I would have stayed longer if I could but deffo coming back! Best wp
