HI there.
My name's Irena, I'm English and have settled in Brittany where I arrived 20 years ago in an old VW Combi and thought how nice it was.
I now have 2 children, my daughter is 17 and my son 19. He is currently hitching around the world and coach surfing....which is what kind of gave me the idea to do this. I would love to meet people who are travelling and in need of a place to stay.
I love animals and nature, I have 2 cats and a dog and a big garden with a veg plot. I sing in a group of women (world music and improvisation) and play the piano. I also do yoga and walk in the sea. I'm a non smoker and I really don't like being in a room with smokers. I am mostly vegetarian too and quite often vegan.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I guess my son inspired me to do this because he's travelling around and staying in people's houses and he's having such a great time. I think it's a great way to share something real with other people, and could be really rewarding. A way to get away from consumerism and our individualistic society.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I teach languages for a living so I'm always happy to improve my languages or help others to do so. Exchanging recipes too or vegetables growing techiniques (permaculture).

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Discussion, culture, why not a walk or visit of the town? Or Breton dancing at Fest Noz which are an icredible and enriching cultural experience.
