  Description

  Hello! I am a 76 year old woman with lots of energy and interests. I am Franco-Brazilian and love both cultures.I speak French, English and Portuguese(Brazil). I have been living in Bordeaux for 6 years.
  Bordeaux is a lovely city, very easy to get about with good public transport and bicycles and scooters for rent all over. Lots of nice cafés and bars, a wonderful movie house which plays all the best films at a low price, museums and a lot to see around here: Saint Emilion, the coast with pittoresque towns, all the vineyards and more. Bordeaux is two hours away from Ile de Ré, a charming island, la Rochelle, Biarritz and many more.
  I would love to have help and show you around the region.
  My son lives here with his wife and two boys and they are friendly and great to be with.
  I can offer you a room, the bathroom is shared, I like to cook, but I don't eat meat!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I'm interested in art, movies, literature and love a nice glass of wine at a café. I'm interested in all other cultures, have travelled a bit and am open to learn and to share my experience. I have a multi cultural background I like to share and quite a lot of knowledge about art. I can go around Bordeaux with my workaway person, show them around and, if the weather permits, we can go to the seaside. I hope the person will also be able to share her experience and culture with me.

  Help

  I am moving to a flat in Bordeaux and I will need help to undo all the boxes, assemble an Ikea bookshelf, a table and odd things for my atelier. I am an artist, I paint. I need a helping hand and an organised person, ready to help and good in assembling furniture. I'll be working alongside, but there are certain things I can no longer do. That's where you come in!

  Accommodation

  I can offer you a room, a shared bathroom, the use of the kitchen and access to all my books (once they are on the shelves!!!). My apartment is located near the center of Bordeaux with a bus right at the foot of the building. And a swimming pool 20m away! The apartment won't be very organised, because I'm moving in April and that's when I need your help.
  
  I'm mostly vegetarian , I eat fish and some chicken. I would like to share this with my workaway person. I'd rather not have meat in the house. We'll have breakfast and lunch together and for dinner we'll play it by ear, either have a bite together or the person can cook for herself. I usually don't have a meal at night.
