My apartment is 25mn far from the center and transportation by tram is right next door. Trams run every day till 1am.
I live alone but surrounded with friends. So be ready to meet people.
I am interested in personal growth, meditation, dancing...
My project is to organise my garden and my apartment to make it a better place
I also would like to create a blog or website

Accommodation
A sofa futon bed in the lounge will be provided -comfortable but you may also sleep on the terrace on a bed as during summer it is quite hot in the South of France.
Only breakfast will be provided.
Meals can be shared with me if you are really helpful. Applicants searching for free accommodation and meals without really willing to help are not welcome ( sorry it is due to some negative experiences)
What else ...
Montpellier is a famous city to visit. I am close to history and cultural places. Seaside, museums, local natural sights...plenty to do and visit. Marseille, Nimes, Toulouse if you wish to spend a week end in another place...Spain is also close (Barcelona 3 hours by bus)
