  Description

  I am musician and engineer, 36yo, I was given a bit of land 6 years ago, i am happy to host anyone with some skills or motivation to help turning the land in a beautifull/sustainable place: planting trees/veg , natural constructions, permaculture designs etc. In winter or when there is heavy rain I have some work on video/music projects and i am happy to have some help as well, but you can also read books (I have lots) or do your yoga :) ! I have a little boy 3yo which is here one day or two every week.
  
  Nice area, close to the sea/beach, you can cycle (two bikes here), do some very nice walks (islands, castle, wild river... ), also it is perfect place to meditate, make yoga etc :)

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Here you can enjoy helping a permaculture place by the sea. There is sometimes strong wind, but less frost, and abundance of shells and sea weeds (which can be a good mulch!) Sometimes we can go to concerts or local festivals, events with traditional breton music. I am also doing music/videos projects and happy to involve people in the creative process. You can meet my son and learn french with him :)

  - furnitures with recycled wood/furnitures
  - secure system to circulate hot water and connect various natural DIY heaters with a tank

  Also it is nice to share the 'routine work': cooking/cleaning/babysitting (i have a little boy!)
  
  I dont ask much work, but i need people who take care of things if possible proactive and finishing what they start :-) Mainly it is about sharing knowledge, skills, motivation, learn together!

  Hébergement

  I can host you in a caravan, or a van, or a tent, or put a matress on the floor in the house, or you can bring your own van/tent. (Depending what you prefer / how many people are there). Tell me before if you need blankets :)
  
  I dont have hot water yet, usually we clean everything in small basin (clothes, dishes, oursleves) you can also use a pipe with cold water to have a shower in the garden when its warm. There are two dry toilets (one with roof, one without).
  
  Dont expect confort.. here is wild place.. only 1million stars ;)
