Description
Hello everyone,
Welcome home if you're kean. :)
I live in Messanges, on the south coast of the Landes region. 2 km from the beach.
The house is, on one side, a former horse farm that has become a gîte, and my ex and I built our main residence in the old horse stalls. Our construction principle was upcycling, and the house is built entirely from second-hand materials.
Now alone in the house, with Flip and Karma (see photos), I need help looking after and caring for the animals, maintaining the house and the outdoor garden, doing various small finishing jobs, tidying up, going to the recycling center, and other odd jobs.
There are toilets in each area, privacy, an indoor and outdoor shower for after surfing :) and Wi-Fi.
I work a lot, I need help to better manage my daily life and maintenance work.
I am a people-oriented person, respectful of others. I am very sociable, I enjoy meeting others, sharing, discussing, traveling (I am bilingual in English), and would like to learn Spanish.
If you like animals, doing odd jobs, the ocean, or cooking, then don't hesitate to contact me. I would be delighted to welcome you alone or as a couple.
Morgane
Salut à tous,
Bienvenue à la maison si ça vous dit. :)
Je vis à Messanges, sur la côte sud des Landes. à 2km de la plage.
la maison est d'un côté une ancienne ferme équestre qui est devenue un gîte et nous avons construit (avec mon ex) notre résidence principale dans les anciens boxes à chevaux. Notre principe de construction, c'était l'upcycling et la maison est entièrement construite de matériaux seconde main.
Désormais seule dans la maison, avec flip et Karma, (voir photos) j'ai besoin d'aide pour garder et s'occuper des animaux, entretenir la maison et le jardin extérieur, faire différents petits travaux de finitions, de rangements, d'aller retour à la déchetterie eet des petits travaux.
Je travaille beaucoup, j'ai besoin d'aide pour mieux gérer mon quotidien et les travaux d'entretien.
je suis quelqu'un d'humaine, respectueuse des autres, Je suis très sociable, j'aime rencontrer les autres, échanger, discuter, voyager (Je suis bilingue anglais) et souhaite apprendre l'espagnol.
Si vous aimez les animaux, faire des petits travaux, bricoler, que vous aimez l'Océan, cuisinier, alors n'hésitez pas à me faire signe. `Je serais ravie de vous accueillir seule ou en couple.
Au plaisir.
Morgane

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There are a lot of beautiful things you can enjoy around here! World class waves just 2km away from the house. So if you love surfing or want to try it for the first time, this is the place to be!
Besides surfing there are a lot of other activities to do: great bicycle tracks through the forests of Les Landes, Stand-Up-Paddle board, there are lakes everywhere for beautiful walks and hikes, the famous golf course of Moliets is only 5 minutes away from our house and we have the best sunsets :)
Our house is located exaclty in between Moliets and Messages which are both really nice villages to go out in the evening, to catch up with friends, have dinners and drinks and meet new people from all around.
The south-west coast in France is a great place to meet seasonnaires and make new friends for life!
You can rent bike really easy around :)
I speak english and french at home, so you can practice both and I will be happy to teach you french :)
