    Description

    Update we cannot host every workawayer who ask and the one we hosted were so happy to stay with us. So if you we accept to host you and you don't show up you re taking the spot of somebody else. So please respect your commitment or at least let us know when your plan changes. You said you're gonna come and you don't even take time to text no problem I write a feedback 0 stars (it look rude but since we added that to our profile no more "never show up")

    We are a couple without children. After years of backpacking, we are renovating a very old house (1761). We dream of a collective place to grow food and projects. Johanna wants to create a wellness care practice (massage and energetic care). Nico wants to organise clown classes, a non-violent communication group and therapeutic accompaniment through listening and speaking.
    Before all this we have tasks in the house and a garden and an orchard that have been abandoned for many years. We live now with 4 chicks and a goose. We answer to everyone even if we can't host. If you want to let us know that you read until there insert the word turtle in your message ;-)

    Mise à jour. Nous ne pouvons accepter toutes les personnes qui nous demandent. Si tu ne viens pas alors qu on s est mis d accord, tu prends la place de quelqu'un d autre. Merci de respecter tes engagements ou au minimum de prévenir si tes plans changent. Si tu dis que tu viens et que tu ne trouves pas le temps d envoyer un message, nous prendrons celui d écrire un feedback avec 0 étoiles ( c est un peu violent d avoir ajouté ces lignes mais depuis plus personne ne nous a laissé sans nouvelles).

    Nous sommes un couple sans enfant. Après des années de voyages nous rénovons une très vieille maison (1761). Nous rêvons d’un lieu collectif pour cultiver de la nourriture et des projets. Johanna veut créer un cabinet de soins de bien-être ( massage et soin énergique). Nico veut organiser des stages de clowns, un groupe de communication non violent et de l'accompagnement thérapeutique par l'écoute et la parole.
    Avant tout cela on a un gros chantier dans la maison, un jardin et un verger qui on étés laissés à l'abandon depuis de nombreuses années. On vit maintenant avec 4 poules et une oie. On répond à toutes les demandes même si on ne peut pas héberger. Si vous voulez nous faire savoir que vous avez lu notre profil jusqu'ici écrivez le mot tortue dans votre message.
