Live on a dreamy little farm in the heart of Brittany, Lescouet-Gouarec, France

  Description

  After 30 years in Berlin and a couple of years on the road in a van in Latin America I realised I wanted a change of lifestyle. We only have 90 years, maybe 100, why not try and do something completely new for now? A vision was born while I was attending a yoga teacher training in Guatemala back in 2019. Fast forward march 2021 when I moved into an old farmhouse in the heart of Brittany - a region I had never been before in my life. I am trying to pursue a more sustainable lifestyle surrounded by a small bunch of chicken, two cats, magical gardens, a greenhouse and fruit trees. I'm dreaming up a place here that has the potential to leave a positive impact on everyone who is staying or passing by.
  I'm running a small BnB and am starting to transform an old barn into a space for yoga, meditation, workshops, small events and more.

  Living together requires us to be mindful of our spaces and the people around us. It is important to me that we keep all spaces (private ones and shared ones) tidy and clean. Please apply only if this resonates with you.

  TRAVEL INFORMATION:
  The closest big cities are Rennes, Lorient, Saint Brieuc and Guingamp. Normally, workawayers take public transport to either of these and continue the trip with a carpool – a BlablaCar – to go to either Gouarec, Guémené-sur-Scorff, Pontivy or Rostrenen. From these places I can pick you up.
