Maxime Luca's June 2026 Newsletter

Hey lovelies,
It finally feels like vacation. I’ve had plenty of time to read, practice yoga, train, bike around the city, and enjoy my favorite moment of the day: apéro.
This slower pace has also sparked an even stronger desire to travel this summer. I decided to head to the Balkans in mid-July, so I won’t be around for a little while. I will most probably spend time in Bosnia and Serbia. I added a section on my wishlist if you wish to contribute to this trip.
I’m also leaving for a week starting Monday to go fishing in Northern Quebec. Lastly, I’ll be away again from mid-August until early September before starting my Master’s degree.
So, shall we make the most of summer dates while I’m still in Montreal? Let’s enjoy an apéro on one of Montreal nicest terrace, have a lunch or dinner, or a slow and intimate coffee date at my condo.
