  Description

  Hello! We are Brenda and David , a retired English couple living in the Dordogne,Southeast France. We lived in England for 25 years before moving to France . Previously, we lived in the Middle East, Asia and the US and worked in the travel industry for almost 2 decades so we had the opportunity to meet a variety of people from different cultures and backgrounds.
  
  We enjoy meeting and interacting with people from different walks of life, sharing our experiences from our travels and the countries we have lived in. We do not have and do not accept any pets and we are non smokers.
  Brenda enjoys cooking and trying out new dishes from different countries .David loves to eat ,thankfully 😊 .
  We like the outdoors, going for walks ,travelling , history , yoga and meeting people.
  
  We live in this part of the Dordogne which is truly spectacular. Even after 18 years of living here, it still takes our breath away!
  There are beautiful landscapes and stunning scenery that you'll encounter as you drive or cycle around , an incredible amount of sites to visit : magnificent chateaux and gardens , prehistoric and stalactite caves, historic /bastide (fortified towns) perched on top of a hill , and quaint charming villages many of which we still have to discover and explore.
  
  Near and around us, there are walking and cycling routes/paths , rivers and lakes for swimming, fishing and sailing, local farmers markets . We live in the countryside so there is little night life and no public buses . Our workaway-er must have own means of transport .
