Description
We live in a beautiful renovated farmhouse, with a lot of space inside and outside, a garden, 1 dog and 1 cat. It’s a really nice home with a good atmosphere to live for some time, enjoying the place, the quietness, the region wich is attractive especially for people who love nature.
SPECIAL NEEDS:
Once in a while a handy man or handywoman to do some reparings.
For spring and summer: somebody with knowledge in permaculture who likes gardening.
We would be really grateful for your help and try to do our best to help you with your project. We received many and very different work-awayers , some wanting to have time for themselves, to rest, to walk, to have a break. Some to make new experiences and others to improve their French, Portuguese or Spanish.
We are interested in being helped in the day to day life. Most of the tasks are: cooking,tidying, gardening, walking the dog…
Our spécial request for the workawayers is :
- a handy man
- someone who likes cooking (healthy and tasty)
- someone with knowledge in permaculture and gardening (not in winter)
- someone who likes dogs and cats
The most important for us in the day to day life is cooking, walking with the dog and gardening (especially march to october).
We would like to have a nice and fair exchange asking for 5hours of work a day. We offer a private room. The house and the place are really nice. There is a beautiful lake at 20 minutes by bicycle. There is the possibility to use a bike. And I can invite you to discover our work. I am a psychotherapist working with a method which I developped myself and which is based on Family Constellation, , musico-therapy, and shamanisme.
I love to dance, sing, swim in the lake, enjoy the nature and many other things in which you can join us me if you'd like to.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Alexandra
Nous habitons une superbe région de campagne près du lac de Neuchâtel et à une heure des montagnes. C'est vraiment une belle maison où il fait bon vivre, en profitant du lieu et des alentours, du calme, de la région qui offre plein de possibilités surtout pour les amateurs de nature.
Nous serions très reconnaissants de votre aide et ferions de notre mieux pour vous aider dans votre projet. Nous avons accueilli beaucoup de workaway très différents, certains voulaient avoir du temps pour eux, se poser, marcher, faire une pause dans leur vie. D'autres étaient là pour préparer un examen. D'autres pour apprendre le français, portugais ou espagnol. Nous sommes intéressés par une aide dans notre quotidien, la plupart des choses que nous demandons sont: , cuisiner, faire les courses, nettoyer, promener le chien, un peu de jardin et de travail autour de la maison.
Le top du top pour nous serait :
- Qqn qui cuisine bien (sain et bon)
- Qqn qui s'y connaît et sait faire de la permaculture (sauf en hiver)
- un bon bricoleur
Nous aimons un échange juste avec les gens motivés. Nous demandons 5 heures de travail par jour, 5 jours par semaine . Vous aurez une chambre privée, un vélo pour aller au lac ou vous balader dans la région qui est très jolie. Et si vous êtes intéressés vous pourriez découvrir mon travail. Je suis psychothérapeute (Alexandra) et j’ai développé une méthode basée sur les constellations familiales et systémiques, y incluant la musico- thérapie et le chamanisme. Actuellement il y a une amie (Natalina) qui habite chez moi.
J'aime la musique, danser, nager au lac, profiter de la nature et plein d'autres choses.
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer,
Alexandra et Natalina
