    Description

    Hello ! I'm Léna, 27 years old and I work at a public library in a small city called Castres in the South of France. I live in an apartment (43m2) with my lovely orange cat Mandarine (6months). I am looking for someone to live at my place and take care of him during my holiday (the first week of november- 31 october till 8th of novembre) but you can stay before and/or after also we will just have to live together and I just have one room but there is matress in the living room :)
    Castres is a realy nice city, i live in the city center and if you come before i can show you around the différent bars, cafés, book shops... In the city you can do everything by walking but you can take buses or trains (train station is 20min away from my place) to discover the region, there is a lot of nature around. And Toulouse, the big city, is only 1h away by train.
    I can provide food (but i'm a végétarian) but maybe you will have to do groceries when i'm away for my vacation.
    To present myself : i love books (so i love my job), i'm an artist and I draw and paint a lot, i love decoration and you will discover my weird style in my apartment, i'm not a great cook but i try to improve myself !!
    If you are interested, don't hesitate to write me a message and speak a bit about yourself and why you wanna travel :)
    Ps : i speak german, english and french

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    In Castres, it's a quiet city but there are some good things to see. The little streets on the city center and the old housse, the small river, some good bars with concerts and restaurants. We are near to a lot of nature. The see is not so far away by car.
    With me you can speak différent langages, i speak english but with a very strong accent, i speak german because i studied german and lived in Germany and I speak french well because im french.

    With Mandarine, you will have to feed him because otherwise he could die. He also drink A LOT of water a day (i don't understand this cat). He is still young so you will need to play with him. He's very lovely and kind (like all orange cats). The only problem : everytime you open the window he tries ro commit suicide and jump so you have to ve very careful, i can explain to you how.
