Description
Hello everyone !
We are a couple, Christine and Daniel who live in a beautiful village of south of France.
After a break during some years we want to restart to host some volunteers.
We are now retired and our daughter is a student at another place but she stay here often.
We are very attentive at the ecological questions for all the things of the life and we build and renovate with ecological construction.
We love to welcome people on trips and share our culture and knowledges.
We love and practice music, dance (traditional, rock and salsa... ) also bike rides.
We like to go at the concerts, there are often groups from all around the world here.
We cook and eat mostly organic food and the meal together is an important moment to share together for us.
During 2018, we were volunteers in UK, New Zealand, Canary Island and Iceland during a long trip in family of 6 months. It was a pleasant and amazing experience what we want to live now in other way at home with volunteers!
Now we travel often by bicycles for some longs trips. We rode two times in Scandinavia during three months also in Spain and from Germany to Hungary... The next soon...Types of help and learning opportunities
