Hello dear traveller of the world!

After many travels ("in my youth" haha) I am now happily settled in an ecological house surrounded by trees in the french countryside (between Nantes and Rennes.) I love teaching yoga, reading, writing, singing, playing, gardening... get to know more about me and my lifestyle on https://www.instagram.com/omwoods ;)
