Beschreibung
J'ai actuellement une pause professionelle de quelques mois et j'espère bien me rendre en France afin d'approfondir ma connaissance de langue, la culture et la vie sociale.
Je crois que je possède une base de français assez solide mais il me manque de le pratiquer au quotidienne.
J'aime bien l'histoire, la politique et les questions sociales et je serais tres heureux d'approfondir ma conaissance de ces choses pendant mon sejour en France (en plus de mes devoirs de workawayer!).

After many years of intensive work I plan to make a pause in my professional life and spend several months (or longer) in France working on my French and extending my knowledge of the country.

vom Host (Help a retired couple with ...) für Workawayer (Wojciech)

Ce fut un bonheur d'accueillir Wojteck, polonais atypique, comme il aime se présenter. Wojteck est une personne de confiance, charmante, sympathique, discrète, toujours de bonne humeur et prêt à rendre service. Il s'est très vite intégré à notre vie quotidienne, à notre réseau d'amis, et nous l'avons considéré comme faisant partie de notre… read more

Vom Workawayer (Wojciech) für Host für (Help a retired couple with ...)

My first workaway trip has turned out to be an unforgettable experience - I have spent amazing four (!) months at the Catherine & Jean-Michel’s place and it was their exceptional generosity and hospitality that made my stay last so long and be so rich in experiences. Catherine & JM treated me as a true member of their household – it included… read more receiving guests and paying visits to their friends as well as going shopping together. We had a lot of fun in the late evenings playing molkky in the garden or the board games among which the Mexican Train become almost an addiction :) Both C & J-M are very active with Catherine being fully immersed in the weaving projects and J-M being busy all the time within their property or providing handyman help to friends.
I worked 4-5 hours a day (excluding weekends) which consisted mostly of taking care of small animals (opening henhouses in the morning, closing them in the evening, providing food and water a couple of times per day) and of the vast flower, fruit and vegetable gardens. My tasks included all kinds of garden-related activities: watering the flower garden, removing the weeds, leaves or branches. Personally, I found a lot of fun in cutting down the self-planted bamboos.
When the weather deteriorated, I worked partly indoors. Under the watch of Jean-Michel who is an amazingly skilled handyman, I removed the wallpaper and repainted the large living room in the part of the house where I lived (things I did for the 1st time in my life!). All these tasks were being done in a cool, no-stress atmosphere. Both C & J-M were very flexible with regards to my time management particularly when, from time to time, I needed to have my Polish job-related video calls at different times of the day.
The living conditions could not be better – there is a separate apartment for workawayers consisting of a sleeping room and a large living room, fully-equipped kitchen and a bathroom. 2 workawayers could comfortably live in the apartment. We had all the meals together and I truly enjoyed the amazing Catherine’s cooking skills who introduced me to the best dishes of the Swiss and French cuisine such as fondue and raclette while J-M was providing excellent local wines :)
Last but not least, C & J-JM proved an outstanding confidence in myself when they twice departed for a week-long holidays leaving the house, animals and the garden under my watch. Also, before the lock-down was introduced, I managed to make numerous trips in the region alone as well as with C & J-M and their friends dining in local restaurants or making car trips to visit cities (e.g. Bergerac, Cognac), castles and caves.
While Catherine speak some English, I fully enjoyed speaking solely French with my hosts thanks to which my language skills improved considerably which was one of my key motivations to go workawaying in France. Both C & J-M are very well prepared to host French learning workwayers – they can speak slowly, repeat things or explain patiently what they have in mind.
I could continue describing the details of this unique, culturally enriching stay but in short – there cannot be a better place than the Catherine & Jean-Michel’s one when one wants to get immersed in the local culture of rural western France. BIG thank you Catherine & Jean-Michel!

Mon première expérience workaway s’est avérée inoubliable – 4 mois (!) chez Catherine et Jean-Michel étaient pleines d’échanges culturelles et nouvelles connaissances. Ils m’ont accueillis comme véritable membre de famille avec une enthousiasme et générosité hors du commun.
Le travail de 4-5 heures par jour que j’ai effectué était exactement comme décrit dans leurs profil workaway, largement focalisé sur le jardin et des petits animaux. Comme j’ai décrit dans la partie anglaise au-dessous, les conditions du logement étaient également très bonnes.
Merci Catherine et Jean-Michel pour votre générosité et l’accueil qui va rester dans ma mémoire très longtemps. A bientôt !
