    Description

    I am Nicolas, 38, living in Saint-Jean Trolimon, in countryside close to the Atlantic Ocean (5minutes in car / 15 with bike), in Baie d'Audierne (south French Bretagne). Close to the city of Pont l'Abbé (10 minutes), Quimper (20 minutes), Douarnenez (30 minutes).
    There is pretty good waves for surf just nearby (tronoen beach, 10 minutes in car).
    I restored a house in this beautiful countryside, and the house is now almost ready to host people. There is just few thing to do :).
    I work part time as coordinator for contemporary dance companies; this job makes me quite happy, but I really need to do other things beside : play music, gardening, dancing, mostly, being with people.

    I would be happy to host people who have the wish to spend some time in countryside.
    There is some work to do, depending on what you want : gardening, cleaning (but not too much :-) the garden, painting, cutting woods, repairing some stuff, wall coats.
    But work is not so important.

    I sometimes drink tea, sometimes beer, sometimes water, sometimes cigarettes, sometimes juices, sometimes play guitar, sometimes piano, sometimes nothing, sometimes poetry or novels, sometimes enjoying the sun and seas.

    As I like to learn new langage, I would really love to host people from abroad. Especially people from Italy, Portugal, and Spain. But really, this is not a restrictive list :).
