Travel information

Description

We are an English couple living in Normandy with itchy feet.
Laura: I mostly enjoy being outside - walking, working in the garden, swimming in the sea, kayaking, taking my goats out on the hillside... but I also like reading, watching movies, singing, dancing....
Chris is very creative, usually with a paint brush, and loves looking at and talking about art.
We love travelling when we get the chance, and the best way is to stay with locals and get involved. We used to couchsurf a lot, and have had several workawayers at home. Always a great experience and I'm really excited to try it myself.
