Description
I have retired for two years now, and I would like to travel more, share the daily lives of people living differently and discover new cultures. I like to be useful to others and I can help in many aspects: taking care of elderly people or animals (cats and dogs), maintaining the house, cooking, ... I would also like to improve my English because I really like this language.
During 1 year between October 2024 until October 2025, I stayed in Ireland, first in west and after, 8 months in Dublin where I took courses in an English school. It was a marvelous experience that I shared with students from over the world.
I am a sociable, empathetic person, always in a good mood, respectful of others, responsible, reliable, with a good open mind and humor. I like to discover and learn new things.

What else ...
I really like nature and animals, hiking, swimming, dancing, reading, traveling and sharing good evenings with friends.
I have traveled in Europe, in the USA, but more particularly in the polar regions. But, last year, one of the most beautiful days is the one I spent in Thailand with elephants in a refuge.
