  Description

  Hi, here’s a little about me.
  Love to travel and recently returned from 2months in Central America and Caribbean. Nature. Ecology, recycling, eating and living responsibly is important to me.
  I am English but have lived in France for 30 years. I have had various careers from working in the theatre, teaching outdoor pursuits, hostessing on sailing boats and more recently welcoming tourists when they rented the gites I used to have.
  I am now a craniosacral therapist.
  I want to travel more so would like to rent out my house. I'd love your help moving me towards this goal so let me know your strengths and interests. I have a garage roof which wasn’t finished so I’d welcome a skilled person who could do this.
  I could do with morale support, sorting out my stuff ...i need to go through accumulated belongings and de clutter chuck, sell, organise to simplify my life. So someone with patience and grounding would be ideal for this task.
  Helping me with computer when I become stuck on trying to navigate website. Any help with IT knowledge is welcome and i think anyone younger than me would be able to help here.
  I enjoy cooking but If someone wants to take the initiative and share that would be great. Mucking in with washing up and cleaning is something I appreciate.
  I cook healthy on whole and can cook vegetarian vegan but I do eat meat. .
  There is a bike you can use so you can get into town easily or go for a spin along the canal du midi.
  I can accommodate a couple if you don’t mind doing different jobs if necessary.
  That’s all for now folks. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Workaways will enjoy visiting the iconic fortified city of Carcassonne and also the 'new' town with its market, cafes and shops. The Canal du midi is close to the house and a bike is at your disposition. Vineyards are nearby and there is fabulous countryside. I love taking off to the beach and try and get there at least once a fortnight and you are welcome to come with me. You can profit on a days off to go to Narbonne, Montpellier and Toulouse all accessible by train and the station is a 20 minute walk from the house. I like to walk and get into nature so would drive out occasionally to walk and you are welcome to join. I can take you to lagrasse where i used to live, there are great walks and history and art shops. I like to do Qi Gong and am not very disciplined so if you want to join me for this and also daily meditation this would be motivation for me to do it more regularly.
  I love travelling and have back packed a lot in the past and enjoy meeting new people. Hopefully we will enjoy each other’s company. I have sailed the Atlantic, worked on a cattle station in Australia , worked in the theatre, in outdoor pursuits for underprivileged kids, gave guided tours of battlefield of agincourt.
  I have one newish bicycle you can use to explore.
