I had a great time with Jean-Matthieu, Emmanuelle and Nino! they are a wonderful family and a better host. They helped me with everything I needed and they had patience helping me with my French. I couldn't ask for a better first workaway host. I did lots of things I've never done before like via ferrata, canyoning and speleology and I loved them.… read more

I had the privelage of staying with Jean-Mathieu, Manue, their daugher Maru and their son Nino for about a month.

Laissé par le workawayer (Allison) pour l'hôte

I spent 10 days in Samoens working on the construction of a chalet right in the middle of town. Jean Mat, Emmanuelle, and their daughter Maru (so sorry for my awful spelling) were the hosts for the project. Emmanuelle and her daughter were so kind as to drive all the way to pick me up in Geneva when I arrived since there were no busses running on… read more the day I arrived. I was originally only supposed to stay a few days, but I ended up staying 10 because I fell in love with the beauty of the area!

Work on the construction site was not very hard, but a lot was expected of the volunteers. Jean Mat expects perfection, and does not like repeating himself or waiting around, so as long as you come prepared to take the work very seriously and work very hard then you should be fine. Jean Mat does not speak a lot of english, and myself (and the other volunteers) did not speak French, so things would often get lost in translation which could easily be seen as frustrating for both parties. In order to guarantee no mistakes will be made, and work to be most enjoyable, it would be best for any potential volunteers to speak at a high level of french and/or have a background in construction and building. Work started at different times everyday, though usually around 9, and would be between 3.5-5.5 hours. It is very cold in Samoans at this time of year, so it was sometimes hard to work outside for such long hours in the low temperature. Emmanuelle was kind enough to lend me a pair of work boots to make sure my feet didn’t freeze off at the construction site though! It wasn’t always clear if we were expected to work afternoons or weekends, so it was hard to make plans outside of Samoans. We did end up working on the only saturday I was there, but I think it may have been because we were given the tuesday off before to go on a hike Jean Mat had wanted to show us!

They are a very active family, and if you are able to impress Jean Mat with your hard work then he graciously takes you on all sorts of adventures like climbing, and hiking, and caving! You are expected to keep the home very tidy at all times, and they have a very specific way they like to have things done. They always had organic food and homemade meals for us, and most all meals were finished with plenty of chocolate and delicious homemade cheeses!! I wish them the best of luck with their project! Thank you again for having me!
