Description
I live by the countryside, in the Norman French bocage, by a river and a little hood, with some funny chickens and an old sweet doogie.
I've been traveling and wandering part of the world, mainly while studying.
I've always loved meeting, encountering, sharing, exploring, discovering people, cultural and worldviews for all over the world.
I came back to my home country few years ago. Settled in an old mill, which I am renovating. After exploring different works on/with Nature, I eventually became seed producer.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As I've been a wanderer myself by the past, I always loved discovering new cultures, sharing point of view and ideas, exploring different worldviews.
I offer you to discover French bocage, close by the Atlantic Ocean, sharing with you my love for Nature, especially little amazing seeds. But also the art of renovating/cocreating an old mill with eco material.
My goal is about sharing an experience of a few days/weeks together.
Help
During spring and summer I've got plenty of stuff to do at the mill !
Mostly in the garden, caring of the seeds, but also some eco construction on the old mill and in the garden too.
But I don't expect you to do tasks all day long, especially by these warm and sunny summer days ! I also love to spend some time by the sea, and will be happy to show you around !
In exchange of you help, I offer you a cosy tent by the river to rest, next to my little house. Where we'd share the same kitchen and bathroom.
You'd be expected to be independent but also willing to help and spend some time together, helping different tasks at the mill, sharing knowledge, skills, etc !
For instance, I'd also love to practice my Spanish and English, learn tons of new stuff, discover food and spend hours cooking/eating, etc.
