Beschreibung
Hello,
I'm a french horticulturist , in his almost sixties , and travel from time to time, when I do not work . (Garden center , plant nurseries, or gardener for private estates ).
I'm divorced and live on my own . I have two children , my son , 29 years old ,lives in Paris with his partner , and my daughter, 22 years old, lives in Lyon, studying psychology .
We use to leave in Tahiti, in french Polynesia , where my 2 children were born and raised .
By the time , we travelled in australia , New zealand, Hawaii, Canada,.
In different places , I give a hand to maintain the garden , or the veggie patch, or do house sitting as well , or both .
I speak French , English , and some Spanish .
Looking forward to meet you
Philippe

It was a great experience to live at Sophie’s place . Such a peaceful farm with free roaming animals , horses , cattle and alpacas ,grazing where they want to do . Sophie is always busy either in the kitchen or doing farm work . It was rewarding to help her and we achieved some work together in the veggie patch .

Despite the fact I made an ankle sprain ,I enjoyed my time with Hipolito and Louise .
It is important to note that both spanish and english are used at the Finca . Sometimes , I struggle to talk to Hipolito ,as my spanish is a bit basic , but he is always patient with us .
Thanks a lot to you both .

I very much enjoyed having Philippe to stay and am delighted with what he accomplished while here. I found him to be very pleasant, hard-working, obliging, and helpful with a good sense of humour and profound knowledge of growing and planting. He is a true gardener - and cooks too! Thanks a lot Philippe and I hope you will return again sometime.
