Beschreibung
My wife (Marilyn) and I are retired professionals from West London. We travel extensively - up to half of the year, all over the world - we just came back from two months in New Zealand. We have just finished a substantial house and garden renovation at our home in North Wales so we both have well developed practical/DIY, gardening and some building skills. A few years ago we did a 'ski season' in the French Alps where we ran a chalet for 18. This helped us develop some pretty significant cooking and hospitality skills!
We want to build on our volunteering experience at music festivals, local community groups and environmental projects by engaging in more substantial projects such as those offered through Workaway.
We are enthusiastic, fit and energetic people who walk, cycle and ski. We enjoy all manner of physical labour but also have significant technical IT and other admin skills.
We have three now grown up children and seven grandkids...
Fundamentally we want to give something back to people, families and communities in a challenging and interesting environment.

REFERENCE
To whom it may concern,
Ian and Marilyn worked for The Chalet Company between December 2017 until April 2018 as a ‘live in’ chalet couple in our then, flagship chalet, Chalet Evergreen, in Meribel, Morel. This is an 8-bedroomed chalet, sleeping 18 people.
Ian and Marilyn were responsible for planning their own weekly 4 course menu, going down to the supermarket weekly to do their own shopping and providing our guests with attentive and friendly customer service. They were always keen to uphold high standards and even when difficulties arose, which were out of their control, worked tirelessly to ensure our guests still received a high level of customer service. They got on well with other team members and received excellent customer feedback week on week, some of which I have shared below.
“You run a very good chalet holiday. Ian and Marilyn were wonderful hosts. A pleasure to stay with.Thank you for all their hard work”
“Fantastic week, 16/17 men can be a bit daunting, but Ian and Marilyn put up with us very well”
“We can’t fault Ian and Marilyn, they have really made our holiday experience the best it could have been. They were incredibly knowledgeable about resort – really helpful about appropriate runs, top places to ski, best bars. Perfect Chalet Hosts”
“The holiday has been perfect, skiing brill, chalet brill, hosts brill”
“Excellent in every aspect; Ian and Marilyn, in particular, were fantastic”
“Ian and Marilyn went over and above when one of the party was injured”
The food was cooked beautifully.All dietary requirements were very well looked after. Exceptional cooking”
