    Description

    *We are looking for someone for the first week of September*

    Hello,
    My name is Aurore and I am naturopath. I am 35 years old.
    I enjoy to do yoga, sports, and dancing !
    I live in Ardeche in a old farm built in 1860 in the middle of the nature. I have a donkey on a land just in front of the house, and a free rabbit who love to run all around.

    There is a forest just behind the house with is a 3 days walk if you want, a good river spot to swim after work, the village is at 5 kms with all shops (bakery, supermarket...).
    The bus stop is in the village, but it's really easy to do hitchhiking in Ardeche. People are really nice here and there is a lot of alternative lifestyle.

    The house is quite rustical (we have dry toilets). The landscape around is amazing.

    I live with Zeb, he is 54 years old. He was travelling with his donkey for 3 years. He is a (nice) cave man :-), he loves animals, wood work and watching movies.
    We have opposites personnalities so we have a nice balance !
