Hello! 👋 My name is Ismaël. I’m a professional sommelier with a deep passion for gastronomy, culture and meaningful encounters. I’ve spent most of my adult life working in wine and hospitality, so taking care of people is naturally a big part of who I am. I live near Lorient in beautiful Brittany and enjoy welcoming travellers from all over the world. Whether you’re a solo traveller on a long journey or just escaping the city for a few days, I like my place to feel like a peaceful base where you can slow down, relax and recharge between adventures. My approach to hosting is inspired by Breton and Tunisian traditions: I value cleanliness, comfort and a calm atmosphere, and I pay attention to the small details that make guests feel at ease. I love cooking simple, seasonal food, pairing it with good wine, and taking the time to enjoy unhurried evenings at home. I’m talkative and curious, happy to discuss culture, history, music, politics or everyday life – but I also understand that many travellers just need silence and rest. I try to adapt to each person’s rhythm so that you can enjoy your own way of travelling while still feeling genuinely welcomed and looked after in Brittany.

Salut amis cyclistes ! Je m'appelle Florent, j'ai 32 ans, je suis médecin en Médecine Physique et Réadaptation / Médecine du Sport, et un grand amateur de voyages à vélo. J'ai pu notamment faire deux voyages d’un an, le tour des USA, et une traversée des pays du Cercle Arctique (Scandinavie, Islande, Alaska, Canada). Vous pouvez retrouver le récit de ces voyages sur Polarsteps, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube et Strava, profil « un carabin à vélo ». L'hospitalité que j'ai reçu sur la route a toujours été incroyable, et j’ai à cœur de la rendre. Vous êtes les bienvenus dans mon appartement si vous êtes de passage sur Lorient ! :) Hello fellow cyclists ! My name is Florent, I'm 32, I work as a physician in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine / Sports Medicine, and I'm fond of bicycle travels. In particular, I’ve ridden two year-long trips, all around the USA, and through countries of the Arctic Circle (Scandinavia, Iceland, Alaska, Canada). You can find more about my travels on my Polarsteps, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Strava profiles, « un carabin à vélo ». The hospitality I have received along the way has always been amazing, and it is important to me to give it back. You're welcome to stay in my flat if you're going through Lorient :)

🇫🇷 Après un an et demi en France, je repars à l’aventure ! Je lance mon entreprise, My Native Family, un projet autour du voyage immersif des rencontres et de la transmission de savoir faire ancestraux, parce que c’est ce qui me fait le plus vibrer. Ce que j’aime en voyage ? Rencontrer des personnes de tous horizons, apprendre de nouvelles façons de vivre, échanger des histoires... Si mon hôte a envie de passer du temps ensemble, ce sera avec grand plaisir. Et si vous préférez votre tranquillité, je respecte ça aussi. Je suis curieuse, simple, joviale, respectueuse et toujours partante pour partager un bon moment de convivialité ensemble ☺️ 🇬🇧After a year and a half in France, I’m setting off on a new adventure! I’m launching my business, My Native Family, a project centered around immersive travel, meaningful connections, and the sharing of ancestral knowledge and traditional skills—because that’s what truly inspires me. What do I love most about traveling? Meeting people from all walks of life, discovering new ways of living, and exchanging stories. If my host enjoys spending time together, I’d be delighted to share those moments. And if you prefer your own space, I completely respect that too. I’m curious, easygoing, cheerful, respectful, and always happy to share good conversations and enjoyable moments together. ☺️ 🇪🇸Después de un año y medio en Francia, ¡me embarco en una nueva aventura!
