Travel information

I am currently

Description

I’m Ghislaine, I travelled a lot during my professionel life (worked for 17 years as a television researcher and producer for documentaries and 13 years as head of production in a museum of contemporary art) . I am interested in people, nature, arts, life .... the world.
I like to travel but like to have contact with local people, do something, learning something. I always worked with young adults as interns, they came from all over Europe.. some of them are still friends. I’ m young at heart and mind. I'm starting a new period in my life and I don't want to sit at home, I still like to do something usefull and meet new people. I also like to improve my language skills, my English is very good, but it can be improved. I very much like to learn more Spanish, I can understand a lot and can ask for basic things, but I really like to improve it. Same go's for my French. That is not bad, but...
I'm Interested in a location in Europe: I like Scandinavia a lot, always wanted to visit Schotland (never did, still on my list), I love Italy, Spain and France. I visited al these country's several times. So, I would really love it to expierence this country's more from the inside and participating in daily life, in whatever form.
I'm very flexible and my aim is that when I can find a Host, to travel over there and stay and enjoy my time. It would be great iff I could stay for a period of min. 3 weeks or more, if it feels good from both sides.
