  Description

  Hi there!
  
  My name is Karen, I'm 37 years old, I'm originally from Belgium but I moved to Normandy in 2020 where I live on an old farm and care for almost 40 (mainly rescued) animals.
  There are horses, sheep, goats, chickens, cats and dogs.
  I have struggled with Lyme disease for much of my life and although I'm doing much better, I'm still living life in the slow lane.
  I'm a calm person and I really enjoy the little things life has to offer.
  I love traveling, learning about other cultures and meeting new people but it's not easy to travel when you have to take care of so many animals! :)
  
  If you love the peace and quiet of the countryside, taking care of animals and working in the garden, this might be the right place for you!
  Don't hesitate to send me a message!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  If you are interested in the Second World War, there is a lot to see in the area.
  My place is located on the border of Orne with Calvados.
  The closest city is Falaise where you can shop or visit the Falaise memorial museum, William the Conqueror's Castle and a few beautiful churches.
  Nearby, you can also visit the lake of Rabodanges and the Roche d'Oëtre.
  There are lots of pretty little villages and the bigger city of Caen is only a 30min drive away.
  The D-day landing beaches Juno, Omaha, Gold and Sword are about an hour's drive away (Utah is 1h30min).
  
  I can also teach you a thing or two about caring for animals! :)

  Hébergement

  I have a small guest room but you'll have to share it with Thelma the cat, she hates other cats so she decided to live in the guest room :)
  You'll also have your own private bathroom right next to your room.
