Description
Hi ! my name is Sylvie.
I live in the house where I grew up, in the french countryside near Toulouse, next to the fruit farm where my family still works.
Since I was a small girl I have loved to learn languages, and this love took me travelling to many countries, where I discovered and fell in love with different cultures, and different ways of life.
I speak English and Spanish and feel I'm a citizen of the world.
After traveling for the last few years, I'm settled back in my family home since 2017 where I currently live alone.
I had a dream of making my home into a place that i can share with people who want to experience art, creativity, dance, connection with themselves and a simple way of being, and i received a lot of help for that !!!
After the covid "time", i was feeling, it was time for me to move on. I decided recently to organise and prepare the house to be sold... that's why i will need a hand !!! organising, cleaning, selling stuff...
The garden also needs a nice make up (treaming...etc...) for the season and the visit of people who would be interested by the house !!!
So, if you feel like helping me... send me a message, and i will have a look to your profile !

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I share my home with anyone who would like to help me, I live in a beautiful part of the countryside, close to traditional market towns (where we go to buy fresh products), and experience the french way of life.
You would have your own room, and we would share the meals, I cook healthy, mostly vegetarian meals, and we would eat together in a relaxed and friendly environment.
I have a cat who lives with me in the house he is a part of the family... so, if you are allergic to pets... this is not the right place for you to stay..
If you wanted to practise your french we could speak in french although I could speak English or spanish.
I have many interests that include dance and art work but also i enjoy walking and visiting the local area (when it's possible !!!!), and friends all of which you would be welcome to join me in doing.
Help
I need an all-round handy man... anyone who has skills and /or experience of gardening, cleaning, ordering, planning... who is autonomus... who is able to work Alone and really motivated ! 😊
Please cause I really don't like the smoke, I would prefer non smoker...
