    Description

    Hello, I live in the historic center of the town of Morlaix. Tourist town with its medieval streets, proximity to the sea 15 km and the Arrée mountains 20 km. I have a large garden, a beautiful cabin to accommodate guests, with shower and dry toilets. Active member of the Warmshowers network, I welcome many cyclists throughout the year. On April 1, 2024, a retaining wall 9 m long and 8 m high collapsed at the bottom of my garden. Several m3 of stones and earth must be evacuated before thinking about rebuilding the wall. I need help because the insurance companies don't want to cover the work! a job to be done collectively, with joy and good humor, with a good organic and vegetarian meal as a result (with fish anyway!). I also practice relaxation and tantric massages professionally and this can be the subject of exchanges between us.

    Bonjour, j'habite en plein centre historique de la ville de Morlaix. Ville touristique avec ses rues médiévales, l proximité de la mer à 15 km et les monts d'Arrée à 20 km. J'ai un grand jardin, une belle cabane pour héberger des hôtes, avec douche et toilettes sèches. Membre actif du réseau Warmshowers, J'accueille beaucoup de cyclistes tout au long de l'année.
    Le 1er avril 2024, un mur de soutènement de 9 m de log et 8 m de haut s'est effondré en bas de mon jardin. Plusieurs m3 de pierres et de terre sont à évacuer avant de penser à la reconstruction du mur. J'ai besoin d'aide car les assurances ne veulent pas couvrir les travaux ! un travail à faire collectivement, dans la joie et la bonne humeur, avec à la clé une bonne restauration bio et végétarienne (avec du poisson quand même !).
    Je pratique aussi professionnellement les massages relaxation et tantriques et cela peut faire l'objet d'échanges entre nous.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    From a professional point of view, I have created several companies in the eco-construction sector, organic distribution or training in the creation of social and solidarity businesses. I can share my expertise in the field with people who have projects in these areas. For my hobbies, I have been practicing contact improvisation dance and estactic dance for 20 years, as well as folk and Breton dances. I have organized numerous courses and festivals and led introductory workshops. I know all the local networks where these dances are practiced and would be happy to accompany my workers there! I can also organize introductions to massages which I have been practicing professionally for 6 years. I also love hiking, both by bike and on foot, and know many magnificent circuits in the immediate vicinity. And of course very open to discussion and sharing our mutual interests!

    Du point de vue professionnel, j'ai créé plusieurs entreprises dans le secteur de l'éco construction, la distribution bio ou la formation à la création d'entreprise sociale et solidaire. Je peux échanger sur mon savoir faire dans le domaine pour les personnes qui ont des projets dans ces domaines.
    Pour mes mes loisirs, je pratique depuis 20 ans la danse contact improvisation et l'estactic dance, de même que les danses folk ou bretonnes. J'ai organisé de nombreux stages et festival et animé des ateliers d'initiation. Je connais tous les réseaux locaux où se pratiquent ces danses et serais heureux d'y accompagner mes workers ! Je peux aussi organiser des initiations au massages que je pratique professionnellement depuis 6 ans.
    J'adore aussi la rando tant à vélo qu'à pied et connais de nombreux circuits magnifiques à proximité immédiate.
    Et bien sûr très ouvert à la discussion et au partage de nos centres d'intérêts mutuels !
