Very happy to have met Norah. Being in a period of intense work in porcelain painting, Norah managed to organize herself. Norah was always ready to help me with the work on my new house. Norah also prepared delicious meals for me. I appreciated the kindness, the politeness and the fact that Norah could visit the region alone with her car. I was

I shared almost two weeks with Virginie at Cadouin during a very busy period of her work. I was happy to be there as I was independent with my own car and I was also eager to discover the beauty the region of Dordogne has.
Virginie was super flexible and asked few hours of work in return for the exchange, which I appreciated a lot. The tasks

Virginie is kind, open-minded, curious, talkative and generous with her time. Although she worked long hours we spent a lot of time together over meals and some walks with both our dogs in the beautiful paths nearby. She loves food and nature which we have in common! :)
I wish her nothing but success in a very special property she’s investing time and effort in, and hope to return someday!

My time with Virginie was simply incredible. I was warmly welcomed and felt at home! She was extremely patient with my basic level of French and I was able to improve a lot practising English with her!

We exchanged a lot of experiences and great laughs! She's a really special person, polite, funny and lovely to have around! Sartre is also a lovely dog and great company!
I'll never forget the memorable moments I was able to enjoy, the great French recipes she made sure to cook with a lot of love and dedication and the amazing places I got to know! I hope to see you again soon!
I will never be able to express my immense my gratitude for the 2 weeks I spent at her home!

Virginie was such a warm, sweet and kind person, she really made me feel like home from the first day.

Vom Workawayer (GillianH) für Host
The five days I spent with Virginie were pure pleasure. She is a generous host, who planned each aspect of my stay thoughtfully. Every meal she made me was delicious. Every walk we took with Sartre, her dog, was beautiful - since we both appreciate nature, she found a range of routes in forests, local parks and green spaces.
Virginie also noted
… read more that I'm interested in travelling more widely in France and kindly took me to the coast for the day, visiting some pretty villages. Another day we took a self-guided walking tour of Lille, which was so interesting. I was fortunate that the dates of my stay coincided with a quieter period in her work, as she can't always spend so much time with her guests.
On the subject of work, it was amazing to watch Virginie at her porcelaine painting and to share in the experience by making a small creation of my own (with lots of help!). Again, an example of her generosity.
Finally, knowing that I love to speak French and engage with French people, Virginie arranged for me to meet and spend time with her close friend and neighbour. This was a real pleasure, for the three of us to share meals and trips together.
Virginie asked for very little from me in return. Our opportunities to speak English were a little limited, as she finds it a struggle to be sure of her words. I think we enjoyed our conversations in French so much, it was hard to remember that I was supposed to be there to help her practice English! In any event, it was a friendship that felt easy and natural and I hope we'll stay in touch.
I should also just add that Virginie's home is charming - large, comfortable and full of books and creativity. I loved my bedroom and the chimes of the nearby carillon.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Gillian is very easy to receive, she immediately puts you at ease. Gillian has an amazing ability to adapt to new environnements.
The meeting with my dog Sartre also happened immediately.

Gillian was also able to meet a friend of mine on several occasions and the contact was very good.
The stay was short but very pleasant, I would be happy if we could see each other again afterwards.
I wish many beautiful discoveries and meetings to Gillian.
Vom Workawayer (Hava) für Host
I had a wonderful stay with Virginie. Her and Sartre made me feel welcome right away. We enjoyed many delicious dinners and lunches together. We visited an art museum and she took me on pleasant walks in and around Seclin. I really enjoyed meeting her family and friends, they are all lovely. She also taught me how to paint my own mug and bring it

Vom Host für Workawayer (Hava)
Hava is a very pleasant Workawayer. Hava immediately integrated into my home, she found her bearings very quickly. Hava was very independent as agreed together due to my busy season at work.
Hava also had a lot of online work for her classes so that was perfect. The relationship with Sartre, my Swiss Shepherd, was made immediately. Hava also got
… read more along very well with a friend of mine who joined us for a few dinners and to visit Bruges. We also visited an art museum together.
My English is really bad and Hava had only studied French for a year at university, but it didn't prevent us from finding interesting topics for discussion.
It is with pleasure that I would receive Hava again if she wants to come back.
Vom Workawayer (Rachel) für Host
I could not be more grateful to have stayed with Virginie! She was incredibly welcoming and patient, especially with helping me with French. She introduced me to china painting in her lovely boutique, which was so fun to try. She even drove us to Brussels and Amsterdam with her wonderful daughters, which was such a fabulous experience. Her
… read more home-cooked meals and desserts were amazing, too! We had great conversations, and thanks to her and her daughters, my French really improved, and so did my understanding of French life and culture. Virginie is great at making conversation, which is really helpful when you're learning a language! Her house is in a very convenient location, too, I was able to go to Lille as I pleased, and it was easy to get to Paris from there. I couldn't have asked for a better host, truly-- she made me feel very comfortable and at home, and I learned so much.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Vom Workawayer (Frida) für Host
Virginie is very kind and included me immediately in her household and activities. When she was working in her shop the door was always open for me to come in and chat with her. Her dog, Sartre, is always with her and incredibly cute! I also got to know two of her daughters and her parents who live nearby.
Solely, I think it didn’t really click

I regret that but would have appreciated a more open communication since she did not mention anything about not feeling at ease for quite some time and then threw me off guard which, in turn, made me feel uncomfortable. I really wish her all the best.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Frida is a calm, poised and trustworthy young girl.
Frida is conscientious and intelligent, she speaks fluent English and she has a good level in French.
