Description
Hi there!
My name is Léna, I am a 35 years old artist who lives in a preserved place in France. The place is wild, surrounded with forest and beautiful landscapes. It's pretty remote but there is a very nice little town 20 minutes away, rivers and lakes, walking path...it's a simple place full of nature and birds singing!
Last summer I bought a 5000m2 piece of land with magnificent old trees and a little river running down it, and I've built a yurt on it. I live a very happy life in this beautiful place since November but now that spring is back, there is lots to do!
I have a dog and a cat who are the sweetest to be honest, I live off the grid and I am aiming for more sufficiency. I sometimes have to go away on weekends for my work but you could either have the yurt for yourself or come with me and my friend!

Accommodation
You will have a double size bed in the yurt, I am sleeping on the mezzanine just atop so you have to know there is not much intimassy, and be fine with it... If needed you can also plant a tent on the land.
I don't have running water, there is a shower etc... But it's from rain water and it has to be used preciously as I don't have this much. Otherwise we can always go and get some at the river down the land.
