  Description

  Hi
  I'm a 44 years old physio living alone next to Mont Blanc. I've been travelling a lot and mostly workawaying for the past few years. I really enjoyed meeting people this way and participating to others' life.
  
  Here in Haute Savoie, I try to concil my work, my passion for cooking, my "saving fruits and vegetables" activity*, my passion for mountain and sports, my passion for music and my social life... while my garden and home need to be tidy...
  * I'm part of an association that collects fruits and vegetables that are too much ripe to be sold from organic stores
  I kind of manage it but it is exhausting and I realised that I can be helped as well as I help others...
  
  I have a small room in my garden that is perfect to host someone with a little privacy.
  I live in the center of a small town at the foot of Mont Blanc with all the facilities around : supermarket, bakery, train station, bars and restaurants while it is a very quiet neighbourhood. A lake to swim 7 min away by bike. A gorgeous place to explore if you like mountain.
  
  I'm looking for someone funny, interesting, loving music, proactive and able to take initiatives to give me a hand to take care of my (small) garden : slugs war, weeds war. To cook the vegetables and fruits I get from organic store : this has to be quick because they are dying...
  Maybe some painting job if the weather is bad and the mountain not attractive...
  You need to have skills in gardening and cooking and liking it. The painting, you won't do it by yourself.
  
  I will offer the accomodation (private room but shared bathroom) in exchange of 2 hours of work/5 days a week. You will be free to organise your time as you wish (can work more hours to have more free days...) except on the day I get the fruits and vegetables : they can't wait.
  
  For the food, you understood I can provide organic fruits and vegetables but they are not nice looking so if you are disgusted by that, it's not a good idea to come. My mission is to prevent waste, and that is why I ask you to come !
  For the rest of the food, we share the expenses and we cook together or each in turn.
  If you are vegan or have a strict diet, I'm sorry but it's too complicated for me. If you are vegetarian, it's ok but if you are not, it's even better ! (I love people that can eat everything ;-))
  
  You understood I need someone to make my life a bit easier and to motivate me to do some little works I always postpone... We will work together as much as I will have free time.
  I can also bring you hiking or climbing if you have gear.
  There are concerts this time of the year and I can introduce you to my friends...
