Description
Hello there, we are the Boussaïd Walker family (french-morocan + British= 3 mini frenchy/morocan/brits of 8yr,7yr and 18months) living in Arcachon. Yassine, the girls Dad (franco moroccan) moved out last July, needing to take time out of a very full on family and concentrate on his career. Having been an ex-traveller myself, having loved crossing oceans and continents, I completely understand the practicalities on both sides helping/hosting that the workaway system has to offer having experienced both. I have helped along my way, and now hosted many a times too since finally settling on the south west coast of France. We love cooking, and sharing traveller stories. After spending so much familytime together during lockdown, it hit home how important it is to encourage our girls with languages and the want to travel too, as well as build their confidence and extra education, I would love to welcome a patient workaway, or couple/two friends, to spend time reading,playing and learning languages with them, particularly as life gets very busy balancing day to day life, work, baby Farah time, daddy time etc, plus maintaining the flat on my own takes up a lot of time.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to stay with us.
Warm Regards
Kate and Co.
