Description
I am Christine and I have been teaching and travelling when not teaching, for a while. My home is in Basque country and my chidren are now grown up. I like the peacefull of my house and village and the adventure of my travels. I love gardening, cooking, architecture, litterature, moovies, art galleries. I speak French, English, Spanish and at the moment i began learning Italian. I am jealous of my solitude and always happy to meet travelers or share my place in this piece of land. Happy to learn.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I love to travel and have been to Cuba, Mexico, the USA, India, Denmark, Italy, England, explored Istanbul and Morocco, Budapest and Berlin among others. This winter, I'm planning a trip to the US and Vietnam. I'm looking forward to discovering what's new on this planet. I'm said to be a good cook and I can teach you how to cook. The Basque region where I live is magnificent for those who love gentle mountains and forests. I've been teaching for a long time and can give French or Spanish conversation lessons. I practice yoga and love to read.
Help
I live in a typical Basque house and in November I need to install fruit trees, build a few steps in my small vegetable garden, build a garden shed and put up a fence. I have tools and I'm resourceful when it comes to DIY, but I've been a bit overwhelmed by my bed and breakfast business lately. So as I have been inter-active just before Covid episod with workaway as a worker I thought it could be great to be a host now!

Accommodation
You'll be staying at home in one of the rooms and share the bathroom, or depending the time you come you'll have your own private bathroom and toilets. You'll prepare your own lunch and have access to the kitchen. Breakfast and dinner are provided.
What else ...
You can explore the surrounding area on foot and I'm 800 m from the village center. A footpath passes in front of my house and there are many walks starting from the village. I can lend you a bike and there are buses and car-sharing arrangements to Biarritz, the ocean, Bayonne etc. ....we are in a touristes zone but our village is not crowdy specially out of Summer time.
