    Description

    We are a familly of 5 (parent + 3 kids) living in the country side (Vexin Français ) but still close to Paris (when the weather is sunny , we can distinguish the Eiffel Tower).
    My husband and myself work widely at home (home office) and when we do not work, we do the gardening, take care of the house which need a lot of maintenance and take care of our 2 youngs horses which live close to us. Or we can simply enjoy the environnement, walking or biking around in the forest or country path.
    We have been travelling and living in many countries it is that why we are fluent in English and Spanish and we love meeting with new people from all over the world.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are really open minded and we love discovering new people and culture. So we will be very happy to share our coutums, way of life to workawayers. For those who want, we could also learn them a bit of French but also french cooking since we are also « fin gourmets » and since good cooking is very important for us. We are not vegetarians but we can off course adapt our selves to vegetarians.

    We have a huge garden which need a lot of care notably in spring and summer time. So proposed activities could go from mowing the lauwn to prune the trees or weed.
    We would also like build a tiny wood house to keep all our material well shelter during winter time.
    At last, our house may require some improvements or fixing mainly painting.
