Beschreibung
We are looking for a nice group of people to work together, we will be carrying out end of season gardening and clearing of rubbish left over from the summer renovations. If you are available from the middle of October for a couple of weeks.
We are looking for a nice group of people to work together. Autumn clean up in the garden. Taking things to the recycling . Maybe a little diy. Hopefully i can teach you something new .if you are interested ,then get in touch. Not sure if the pool with be warm enough but we do have the hot tub.
Hi all,
I am Garry originally from England, but after many years of traveling i settled in Sweden for 8 yrs, many of these doing workaway. 3 years ago i decided to move again and now im living in South West France just outside Bergerac. Where it's warmer and still have great nature. The garden and the swimming pool are now finished. We need help with gardening, helping cut the grass and cutting plants etc. There is also help with planting our veg garden.
We are about 25 km from Bergerac near Lalinde, just by the river. Bergerac has a main train station and airport. Lalinde has, restaurants ,shopping etc. All you really need.
I look forward to not only working together but sitting around the camp fire exchanging story's of travels and life experience. I really enjoy the cultural exchange of workaway and the company it gives me.
If you are looking to experience the local french culture? This is a great location with much to do of interest. Winery's, chateau's, kayaking on the river etc
I have a love of Art although I have yet to find my favourite medium ?
Back in Sweden we had great fun growing our own vegetables and cooking and preserving then.

Well I can't teach you French but maybe you can teach me?
I can tell you what it's like to live in a foreign country as I have done this several times in the past.
Also about Swedish tradition and way of life, things that swedes take for granted.
Over the Last few years we had people of all ages 18 to 74. From all over the world ! Japan to Mexico and all of Europe!
Many young people who came to stay, were a little lost in life and looking for new people and new ideas, this was really lovely. And we all got on and had a great time learning from each other.
Arbeit
i need help with the garden, and veg patch. No skills needed but a willingness to help with manual tasks, etc. . And gardening
We are about 25 km from Bergerac near Lalinde, just by the river. Bergerac has a main train station and airport. Lalinde has, restaurants ,shopping etc. All you really need.
(General help with the existing garden and flower beds etc.)
I don't expect you to be skilled in these tasks but just be willing to help out and maybe learn something for your self.

Englisch: FließendDieser Gastgeber bietet Sprachaustausch an
Like to learn French
Unterkunft
My home has 7 bedrooms. so you will be pleasantly surprised! Depending on how many people are staying at once? Will determine if you will need to share a room or have a room to your self. I like Workawayers to stay about 2wks but if we all get along well, many have stayed much longer and some have returned year after year.
Im vegetarian. I love to cook but at the same time if you also like to cook then I'm cool with that.
All food will be included during your stay (vegetarian)
You can get your own meat, no problem if you like to BBQ etc.
Was noch ...
From The local train station of Lalinde you can take the train to Bergerac or Bordeaux. or to all the major cities. There are many tourists places close by. If you enjoy walking or biking the countryside, forest and lakes are all around. I hope to soon get some kayaks because we are so close to the river.
drop me a message if you are interested

And the house just couldn't be prettier, with a huge lake just in front of it.
Thanks for having me and good luck!
I've helped reforming a house, he will always listen to your ideas and has many many great stories to tell.
And the house just couldn't be prettier, with a huge lake just in front of it.

Vom Workawayer (Dermival) für Host
Un mois chez Garry avec mon ami Juan. Garry cuisine comme un chef, nous nous sentons comme notre maison car il nous a laissé vraiment libres. Je vais manquer la belle vue sur le lac gelé devant la maison. Nous l'avons aidé à peindre son appartement près de la maison et l'avons laissé prêt. Merci Garry et tout bonheur à vous 😀

Garry is very likely one of the most generous person that you can find in Sweden. He accepted my last minute request without hesitation, he invited me to his house where I was free to move as I pleased, he's been super accommodating when taking me to and from the train station, and he offered me great company, with many interesting discussion and… read more

Arianna came to stay just for a couple of days because she was stuck for a place to stay. At the time I didn't have any work for her but she was a very nice person and we have good conversation. I'm sure that she is a good workaway.

Neo stayed with me in the spring time and we worked great together. I enjoyed his company and he was very helpful with the tasks we did. Mostly heavy building work (movie greenhouse and building decking.) I would definitely invite him back and recommend him to other workaway.

I had a great first Workaway experience with Garry. The work is rewarding and the nature around the area is amazing for clearing your head and having some peace in an otherwise busy world. Garry is a very kind and open person, and I enjoyed our afternoon chats about life and our experiences so far.

Angel was a joy to have around. All the way from Mexico to Sweden, he showed a lot of interest in the Swedish way of life and the culture. Angel was a great team player and helped out whenever asked. He had no experience in the kind of work he was asked to do but was always willing to learn. I would definitely recommend Angel to others .
