He has the best advice about anything. During the weekend, we saw many of the surrounding towns, and we visited Vienna as well. Overall a pleasant experience.
I would highly recommend. Pleasure to meet you.

Vom Workawayer (Nathan) für Host
I stayed with Lionel in January for a couple of weeks and so I’m a little late with leaving a review but here we are. Lionel was a brilliant host and his house was a great place to stay. Sanary is well-connected and picturesque, with nice buildings and a charming French market.
My daily work consisted mostly of painting, and Lionel made sure I

The food was excellent. Lionel is a good cook and enjoys a big variety of food, much of which he buys from local markets and makes delicious meals out of. He also introduced me to some new food and drink that I’d never had; cod liver, oysters, and the famous Pastis (which for better or worse is now a cornerstone of my drinking diet).
Of course the region is full of natural beauty amazing locations to visit. We visited some historic villages, with La Cadiere-d’Azur being especially memorable. We also went to Toulon for a day and took a boat to a nearby island, where we sprinted to buy some beers at a shop before it closed and then went for a scenic walk along the coast. It was great to be introduced to a region I’d never been to before and Lionel was an excellent guide for that.
Whilst back at the house, most of the downtime I spent in conversation with Lionel. He has an interest in many different subjects and we talked a fair bit about history and international affairs, as well as the comparative states of French and British politics. There was more light-hearted chat over the various funny TV programmes that we watched in the evenings. Lionel watches these shows to see how regular British or Germans speak and behave around each other and so learns more about their languages and cultures. Through this lens the frivolous fodder of Channel-4 became incredibly entertaining, if only to hear Lionel’s complaints about how picky the English are when it comes to frying eggs, or the ambitious amount of alcohol they drink before they’ve even met their date for the evening.
Overall, it was a great time with a great host who I would recommend thoroughly and spending my first workaway there was a privilege.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

I helped out in the garden, preparing the flats for guests to stay in, painting, and a few other small jobs around the house.
