  • Description

    Bonjour,
    I am Florence, mother of 3 grown children (27, 23 and 19 years old) and I am 56 years old. I'm a dynamic and optimistic person. My family also tells about me that I am generous, patient, organized, diplomatic and intelligent. I live alone in Rennes, Brittany, as my children are now independent. Two of them are students in Bordeaux and Albi, and my eldest son works in Paris.
    I am working as a Corporate Relations Officer, helping companies with their recruitment. It has been a while since I wanted to take a break in my career and do something different. It is now the time and I have allowed myself a couple of months off to travel and experience some new adventures!
    My volunteer project is to improve my English, currently basic level (I have had a bit of help from my children to write my profile ) and help the hosts who receive me.
    I love meeting new people, discovering and visiting new places. For 3 months I have been accompanying a 39-year-old person with a disability (cognitive) in her various sports (golf, ping-pong, billiards) and leisure activities (board games, creative arts, walks in the city...) outside her home. It was a great experience spending time with this person, creating a special relation and of course feeling useful.
    It is with great enthusiasm, and always with a smile, that I invest myself in my activities. On the sports side, I regularly practice swimming and hiking. I also like skiing in the winter and I know how to ride a bike.

    I am looking forward to meeting you and sharing a bit of the journey together.​
