Almost 10 years ago now, after a beautiful evening on the beach of Grande Anse in Dehaies, we decided to change our lives, Sitting on the sand, the refreshing sea air, the background sound, waves, frogs, gwo ka ...a realization, our multiple travels around the world always brought us back here, an obvious fact, we had known it for a long time without realizing it, Guadeloupe was our life destination.
It took us 5 years before we managed to escape from our continental lives, a lot of research, a lot of disappointments, a lot of stress, then one day, a small ad on Boncoin, a flight full of hope, a discovery, a completely atypical “whaouu”, old wooden huts, a magnificent garden, a river, a natural pond.
Finally we had found our life plan. Abandoning two successful professional lives of more than 20 years, we resign, a big step into the void but surprisingly an enormous serenity and pleasure.
COVID... our beginnings, an empty cottage, when Guadeloupe opens to tourists, the world prevents them from flying... when the planes finally take off, Guadeloupe forbids them from landing.... A complex year in business term. Life resumes, our first customers arrive, social conflicts break out in Guadeloupe and scare away our customers...
Then suddenly, a torrent of reservations sucks us in, we discover what managing a gite really represents and the intensity of the work associated with it. Guadeloupe is magnificent.
We are opening this blog to share with you the little daily pleasures that nature, our work and life in Guadeloupe give us.
