Description
Hello/Salut,
Looking for space and beauty? We are a couple who have recently bought a house in the French Alps. It is a very beautiful area with lots of opportunities for outdoor activities. The house is comfortable and spacious.
We are 3 km away from a busy French market town so although it is quiet and rural in our little place there are lots of other activities going on in the area. We are very near to Chamonix/st Gervais/Megeve with all the winter sports they offer as well as the Aravis mountain range behind us. If you like to; hike/cycle/climb/ski/paraglide/run- this may be the place for you. We have a workshop space as well so there is opportunities for quieter and more creative work as well.
We are looking for positive people to come and enjoy the area as well as offering us help with the house and garden. We can offer help with learning/practising English ( we are learning French ourselves so happy to have help with that) and there is good WI-FI.
We have a young dog who is great and has lots of energy so dog walking possibilities if you would enjoy that.
We welcome people who are kind, flexible and who want to explore the beautiful area as well as help out in the life of the house.

Adolfo is adventurous and independent but also thoughtful and well-mannered.
He is a willing worker, happy to get involved and share in the life of the household.
An extra bonus is his music..
I would recommend Toby as a Workaway guest- friendly, open and thoughtful.

Mi experiencia en mi primer Workaway fue increíble. En mi caso, no sabía a dónde iba ni qué labores haría, aunque las circunstancias eran diferentes ya que viajo en bicicleta y es difícil avisar con antelación. Normalmente esa información siempre la sabrás de antemano.
