Description
After 30 years in Berlin and a couple of years on the road in a van in Latin America I realised I wanted a change of lifestyle. We only have 90 years, maybe 100, why not try and do something completely new for now? A vision was born while I was attending a yoga teacher training in Guatemala back in 2019. Fast forward march 2021 when I moved into an old farmhouse in the heart of Brittany - a region I had never been before in my life. I am trying to pursue a more sustainable lifestyle surrounded by a small bunch of chicken, two cats, magical gardens, a greenhouse and fruit trees. I'm dreaming up a place here that has the potential to leave a positive impact on everyone who is staying or passing by.
I'm running a small BnB and am starting to transform an old barn into a space for yoga, meditation, workshops, small events and more.

TRAVEL INFORMATION:
The closest big cities are Rennes, Lorient, Saint Brieuc and Guingamp. Normally, workawayers take public transport to either of these and continue the trip with a carpool – a BlablaCar – to go to either Gouarec, Guémené-sur-Scorff, Pontivy or Rostrenen. From these places I can pick you up.
