  Description

  April 28th to May 5th
  ======================
  I am a single mum, living in a small and very nice village in Normandy with my son aged 15. I am a teacher for children with special needs. The garden (1700m2) feeds my two goats, and we also have a dog. As my health is not so good since I have been infected by sars-cov 2 in january 2020, i need help for the garden, for small tasks like painting, as well as having some walks with our dog if you are used to it!
  I like chatting about many différent topics and especially animals, since i have always had several ons such as cats, horses and dogs. i like cooking too, and we have meals gluten free and milk free as much as possible. I'm ok with a vegetarian workawayer, and would enjoy learning some veggie receipies!
  The house is rather small, but there is a room for you if you feel like sharing my everyday life for some time! That place is made for you if you like living in the country side, having nice walks and if, like me, you need some peace and feel like spending some times chatting !
  
  J'habite une jolie petite commune de Normandie avec mon fils de 15 ans. Je travaille en tant qu'enseignante auprès d'enfants qui ont des troubles du comportement et de l'apprentissage. Notre maison possède un jardin de 1700m2, nous avons un chien et deux chèvres qui participent à l'entretien du terrain! Mon état de santé s'est dégradé suite à un covid en 2020 et j'ai maintenant besoin d'aide pour entretenir le jardin, pour les petits travaux d'entretien extérieur et pourquoi pas quelques balades avec la chienne si vous en avez l'aptitude.
  J'aime échanger sur pleins de sujets différents et plus particulièrement les animaux puisque j'ai toujours eu des animaux dans ma vie (chevaux, chats, chiens). J'aime également cuisiner. Je mange au maximum des produits sains, sans gluten et sans laitages. Je suis ok pour accueillir quelqu'un qui serait végétarien et serai ravie d'apprendre des recettes veggies!
  La maison est petite, mais je dispose d'une chambre pour vous si vous vous sentez de partager mon quotidien pour quelques temps. Ce projet est pour vous si vous aimez la campagne, les jolies balades et si vous aspirez au calme et à des temps d'échanges !

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I can speak English and a bit of Spanish. As a teacher, I am used to people learning if you are a beginner in speaking French. As my health is not so good, I can't promise to visit with you, but I can give you some advice so as to the good places to visit all around. And if my health allows, I will be very glad to come with you!
  The house is not far from Pont-Audemer and Bernay, 40 mn from Honfleur, 45mn from Deauville. There are nice walks all around. I like speaking and learning things !
  I practise Qi Gong once a week, and I 'd enjoy sharing that pratice with you if you wish !
