  Description

  Hi!
  
  After 7 years living in a cave in Spain, I go back to leave in the house of my great great parents. It's an old house in a village close to Montauban, in the south of France.
  
  I'm 35 years old, vegan, queer (trans ftm ftx ), ceramist (I study artistic ceramic at the school of arts) and my project it's to make this house more comfortable, create a workshop, and create a vegetable garden.
  
  The house is no smoking and vegan (even if you are not vegan you are welcome but we don't consume products from animals exploitation in the house)
  
  I do no have internet connection at home, I used to use the data on my mobile. But at the bar of the village, few meters from the the house, there is good internet connection.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  I speak a very french English, (as you can read), but I'm understandable, and I really want to improve it, I have been living in Iceland so maybe I have Icelandic way of express myself (Yao!).
  I speak fluently Spanish and of course French. I worked as French teacher in Spain, so if you want to learn French, I can be a good teacher.
  
  I you are interested in veganism, I'm vegan since 14 years, I know a lot about nutrition, and healthy simple vegan recipes (when I started been vegan, hyperprocessed vegan food did not exist.)
  
  Montauban is a very beautiful city, and the church of my village is unique (as you can see the photos of the inside)

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  I want to improve my English. And I also want to learn Patois, Icelandic and Arabic. I worked as French teacher in Spain, so I think I can be a good teacher. People in the south of France, we have a more understandable way of speaking, because we pronounce well all the syllables (not like in Paris or the North of France).

  Hébergement

  I offer you a room upstairs, with view on the garden (the house it's old with "vintage" wallpaper, some problems to fix, termites, the newest parts are the kitchen and the bathroom, but the rest of them house is very old) If you have a truck or a caravan you are welcome too. The is hot water, washing machine, gaz for cooking...
  Vegan food, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we can cook together or I can cook for us alone, as you prefer. I use to cook very simple, with low fat and salt, many legums but I can adapt me to your taste.

  Autres infos...

  We can go to do some kayak, and visit the nice villages around.
  
  In Montauban, there is a train station, (Montauban - Toulouse is 5€), and I can pick you there. There is no bus to my village, but hitchhiking works very very well there. If you come in bike the trip between Montauban and my village, close to the river is nice.

  Espace pour garer des vans

  In my garden you can park a little truck, or a caravan and on the village place in front of my house you can put a very huge truck (some friends visit me with one).

  Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux

  Yes if you are responsable with your animal, and give him good care. I have a closed garden in front of the house for your dog. (An other open one with grass if you come with a horse or a goat) There is a cat colony in the village and around the house, they have many places to hide but if your dog is aggressive with them maybe it could be better to keep him inside the house.
