    Description

    It could be nice to have a help in the first two weeks of July. I will just be back from holidays and my garden will be a big jungle. But there are also very nice festivals in the surrounding.
    I worked as a social worker for young people, I have now been retired for 12 years. In my house I like to invite people from all over the world : foreign students studying in Poitiers, couch surfers and volunteers. My friends in the village and in Poitiers are very happy to meet the students and volunteers from different countries. I lived in Germany for the first 25 years of my life, so my mother language is german, I speak fluent french ( and English) and I think I'm a good teacher for french language, as a learned It when I first came to France.
    I have always a lot of things to do in my house and in my garden. I like to share different activities and ideas/conversations with other people.
    I'm a "écologique person", I like cooking with fruits and vegetable, make my own jam.
    In my free time, I enjoy riding my bicycle, walking, swimming, reading, socializing, visiting the local areas or just relaxing.
