  Description

  I live by myself with two wonderful cats in a Normandy cottage with a charming garden of 1500 sqm, in a small village 8 KM from the beautiful seaside and the pretty village of Veules les Roses. I am very ecological-minded and have transformed my lifestyle, having left the big city to live and work close to nature and have a more simple life. I work remotely from my GreenKub, garden office that I had built recently. I have a global mindset, have lived and worked in several parts of the world and work internationally. I can be of good company and can provide tips of French culture and lifestyle, I am informal and friendly but also like respect of the house rules. I love company at the weekend for walks and outdoors activities. I occasionally travel for 3 days max for my work. I spend a lot of time in my garden , run experimental permaculture beds and grow my own vegetables, have beautiful plants and flowers that bring me a lot of joy. I practice mindfulness meditation, aborigine-style dot painting, yoga, walking on beautiful Normandy trails. I love eating farm-grown, home-made products and am a flexitarian, with little consumption of fish and farm-grown poultry. I am fun, open-minded, like company but also priviledge my moments of solitude. My work has an important part in my life, I run my own business as executive coach & consultant so I tend to work late hours. I have two adult sons living their own lives.

  Autres infos...

  Lovely beaches and landscapes with majestic cliffs, countryside trails and small seaside villages to explore. Dieppe is 20 KM away, Saint Valéry en Caux 12 km, the beatiful city of Rouen 50 km. Having a car or electric bike for independent leisure time is necessary - I have only one car and a normal bike. Beautiful farmers markets almost every day in the region.
  Bus system not so good... train station in Yvetot, (route Paris - Le Havre) 25 KM from my home.
