Beschreibung
I am a solo British woman who has lived half her life in France and the other in the UK; currently living in the most beautiful and hottest (!) regions of France, by the sea, and its marine reserve & the mountains, filled with wine!
I am obsessed with up-cycling and using abandoned materials and objects in my interior design work. I collect sea glass and try to eat well, love scented plants and try to eat well; at 56 and have many diplomas and Masters degrees.....Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
I am an artist / designer. I also trained and practiced as a well being therapist (Massage, yoga, Ayerveda); I can exchange on these subjects, but I no longer practice massages. I'm willing to teach couples. I can cook home made food, use of a car for down time
Arbeit
Today, because I have an autoimmune disease, I can no longer undertake physical work myself and would like to rely on someone (a couple) to help me finish works and little by little this will create the spaces that other volunteers will use; collecting and working with locally collected & up-cycled materials.There are 2 spaces, a ground floor unit and a loft on the 2nd floor. You will be going up and down a lot here so you must be light on your feet & physically fit! Tools will be provided for making holes and cutting wood and Painting work.....

Interested in learing spanish, in exchange for french/ englishUnterkunft
Own Room in apartment, You will have use of the kitchen, with limited cold storage; Sheets & towels provided if necessary (to be discussed in advance); 5 mins to the beach... The views are stunning and there is an opportunity to learn about the history of the village, Catalan culture, protected costal activity, diving, fishing etc (Train station outside property)
Was noch ...
For over 30 years, I worked & travelled over most continents both professionally and touristicly
My past was filled with many personal and professional creative architectural projects, where my role was to design (and sometimes fit out) spaces and manage projects; I would always take part in the physical building or refurbishment of my own habitations and on workaway I have helped with some fantastic building projects myself.
Pictures speak louder than words, so I will let you have a look at the photos here, which are an disorganized selection of projects and scenery, with a cute dog to seduce you into helping me out.
At the end of July I am offering a room with a large shower area (destined to become a hammam); it’s well ventilated and has a shared toilet (with me) just next door. Its not at all finished and this will be your task...to finish the walls, tiles, furniture, deco, etc.....5 hours per day (details to be fixed together before arrival), and for a minimum of 3 full days (maximum 6 days)As well as the room, I can offer you an English brunch each day or the use of my car to explore the magnifique region. When you arrive we will have a presentation of the project, the works to be done and their details and then we will eat together. I will ask you to do 1 hours work on the first day of arrival so that you can acquaint yourself with Cerbere & the côte vermeille.
There are stunning hikes in the area and rich culture, as has Collioure, famous for its artists of the past, or Dali’s house on the coastline in Spain. From the creeks and beaches in Port Vendres you can see the snow topped mountains of the Canigou. All well served by transport. It’s a little hidden French secret here, you will not be disappointed.
Before arrival I will need a Copy of your passport
To be sure that there are no gaps in the planning and that I can offer this great collaboration with other over the summer, if you decide to leave early, 24hrs notice is required, so I can replace you quickly!...All questions welcome and please provide your dates on the first contact message; In August & September I can accommodate last minute volunteersEtwas mehr Information
