Montréal was recently voted one of the world’s 10 happiest places. Sure, I always knew that living here was a good thing and influential on my happiness, but to see it confirmed by the travel guide Lonely planet made me realize it’s not just me.

I moved back to Montréal after a few years of living abroad and that’s when I started realizing how good we have it. Montréal an amazing compromise between New York and Paris, just much more affordable, especially when it comes to real estate. Although I am wondering: does the fact that real estate is at an all time high mean our happy secret is out? It sure is now…
