  Descrição

  ** PERIOD: the month april 2023**
  => Half holiday, half work

  My family ownes a holiday home in the Ardèche, in the south of France. We are Dutch, and non native french speakers! After the retirement of my father and mother, they lived there each year from spring to fall. Now my mother is older, we use it as a family holiday house. Each family member uses the house for summerholiday for some weeks with his/ her family.
  
  As the eldest son I am 'responsible' to prepare the house each year for summer and close it for winter.... It's some work! Help is very welcome!
  
  We really love this calm and serene spot in nature. It gives us a smile on the face each time we arrive at it. We like to give you the opportunity to experience the same!
  
  The area has beautiful sceneries and is lovely for outdoor live, hiking, biking, visiting pittoresque villages and culinary discoveries.
  
  The house has good wifi, so if you want you can combine your stay with your online business or with working from 'home'.
  
  If you are interested to give some help, please contact me. Then I can tell you more about our nice house and the beautiful area. And we can decide if we have a 'click' together. I am open minded and like to meet new people. I will give you a warm welcome and treat you like a family member. I like nature, personal development, sports, hiking, yoga, meditation and good (vegetarian) food. Love to share this together.
  
  Nice to meet you, recieve your smile and connect.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  To experience all the benefits of the countryside of the south of France at a nice and quiet spot. Great to slow down and come to yourself and meet new people. As a host I treat a workawayer as a family member and like to have a good time together en show you around in the Ardèche. Next to that I am interested in personal development. Nice to have good conversations about this theme and learn from eachother. Especially on a nice, calm evening outside on the terrace with a small campfire. I practice yoga and meditate. Always nice to practice together. I will look forward to meet you.
