Description
Dear Hosts,
Hello! I am 29 years old and from the UK.
I would say I am someone who is hard-working, friendly, and practical. When I was growing up, I used to enjoy doing gardening work for my neighbours, and I also used to earn pocket money by working as a waiter/barman.
Work-wise, I am a lawyer usually based in London, although I have been living and working in Toronto for the past year. Outside of work, I enjoy watching sports and occasionally playing the piano. I try to spend as much time outside (running, cycling, walking, etc,) as possible.
I have just under three months free this summer, which I would love to spend living and working in France. As well as being a welcome break from city life, and a chance to spend some time in nature, I would like to be able to practise my French speaking.
I look forward to meeting you.
Best wishes,
JackInterests

When I found this family on workaway - just a couple of weeks before staying with them - I was in the unfortunate position of having been let down by a previous offer of work for the summer. Now I could not be more thankful that I was… read more
