    Description

    Hello, I'm Stella.
    I live in Provence in the south of France, in a lovely and lively village.
    I'm artist- I love painting, sewing, creating kimonos, and transforming spaces with creativity and care.

    I also work in a field of well-being, offering massage and holistic beauty treatments. I've studied Ayurveda and I'm passionate about understanding people in depth, about balance, and living in harmony with the nature.

    I enjoy simple and meaningful exchanges, creative moments, and conversations about life, art, and human connection.

    I live alone whith my quiet cat, Loki, in a calm and welcoming home inspired by a minimalist and Japanese spirit- a simple and peaceful space I've been refining over the past few years.

    Welcome to my space, where creativity and simplicity meet

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The exchange I offer is first and foremost human and creative.
    I love to share my artistic word- painting, sewing, creating kimonos- and offer the opportunity to discover or explore these practices in my studio.
    We can also exchange thoughts about mindfulness, well-being, nature, and the deeper themes of life, in a spirit of openness and simplicity.
    I would also love to share some time outside the house: walks, discovering inspiring places of Provence.
    All of this will be organized aroud my working hours outside the home and our shared creative time together.
    I see a moment of sharing, cooperation, and breathing space, in a calm, caring, and meaningful atmosphere.

    This host offers a language exchange
    I am passionate about languages and love sharing mine while learning from other. I speak Italian most fluently, English a little, and I have also learned Spanish and German, which I enjoy practicing again through conversation. I enjoy discovering different cultures through language and I'm very interested in deepening my language skills while exchanging knowledge in a friendly, openway. Language for me is a bridge to meaningfull connections and understanding people more deeply.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    The accomodation I offer includes a cozy bedroom and a living room space, which can comfortably host up to two Workawayers.
    I can sleep in the room "atelier".
    The bathroom and kitchen are shared, and the atmosphere is simple, calm and respectful.
    I provide the main groceries- mostly vegeterian ingredients, with plenty vegetable, rice...
    I occasionaly eat meat and drink very little alcohol, but everyone is welcome to adapt meals according to their own needs and preferencies.
    Cooking together and sharing meals are moments of exchange that I truly enjoy.
    Shops and local markets are nearly for any additional food or personal needs

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There's so much to do around here! Most places are within walking distance, and the bus and train stations are easy to reach.
    During your free time, the area is ready to be explored. Hop on a bus or train and discover beautifull spots nearby- even the Mediterranean coast is within reach! You really have no excuse not to go see it!
    On my days off, we can explore together- I can drive us to the sea, the mountains, or other beautiful places nearby for a day of discovery and relaxation.
    One thing you absolutely must respect: no smoking inside the house.
