Alone
I'm 52, originally from London, but have been based in France since my early twenties. My work experience is mostly linked to art and academia: I paint myself, have a PhD in history of art and have been working as an translator for university researchers for the last decade.
Recently, I sold my house, reduced all my wordly possessions to what fits in my tiny car and have become nomad with the aim of moving around for a while until I find somewhere to resettle. I enjoy living quietly and close to nature: I love walking, yoga, the company of animals, gardening and simply pottering around keeping a home in good shape.
I have looked after the homes and pets of several friends for many years and it's always worked out extremely well, so house sitting seems like an ideal way for me to discover new regions while continuing to live as I most enjoy doing. I also appreciate the philosophy of free reciprocal help.
I am naturally clean and tidy and have a fair amount of gardening experience, coming from a family of passionate and partly professional gardeners. I think I can claim to be pretty calm and efficient when faced with problems and emergencies. As I am travelling by car, I am happy to wind my way to remote and rural locations.

Anna est très fiable et efficace . Elle m'a donné régulièrement et à intervallesproches des nouvelles de mon Django et de Séraphin ma tortue . Elle a sû observer et réagir quand mon vieux chien n'allait pas bien . J'ai pû profiter de mon séjour à l'étranger tout en étant rassurée de la savoir à la maison . Je la recommande . C'est une belle personne avec qui il est agréable d'échanger . Anna je te souhaite une très bonne continuation ^^.
