    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.

    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

    Je vis à coté de et je travaille la journée.
    vous serez autonome la plupart du temps.

    Il y a plein de belles choses à faire dans les environs ! Des vagues de classe mondiale à seulement 2 km de la maison. Alors, si vous aimez le surf ou si vous voulez vous y essayer pour la première fois, c'est l'endroit idéal !
    Outre le surf, il y a plein d'autres activités : de superbes pistes cyclables à travers les forêts des Landes.
    il y a des vélos à la maison.

    La maison est située exactement entre Moliets et Messages, deux très jolis villages.
    La côte sud-ouest de la France est un endroit parfait pour rencontrer des saisonniers et se faire des amis pour la vie !

    Je parle anglais et français à la maison, vous pourrez donc pratiquer les deux et je serai ravie de vous apprendre le français :)

    I live next t and I work during the day.
    You will be independent most of the time.

    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.

    the house is located exaclty in between Moliets and Messages which are both really nice villages.
    The south-west coast in France is a great place to meet seasonnaires and make new friends for life!
    there is bikes at home.

    I speak english and french at home, so you can practice both and I will be happy to teach you french :)

    Pour cet hiver, je cherche quelqu'un qui aime l'ambiance Océan en hiver mais également qui peut m'aider à faire des travaux d’embellissement pour la maison qui sera louer par la suite.
    (démonter une terrasse, repeindre, entretenir le jardin)
    Je souhaite également une personne qui aime les animaux pour les garder lorsque je pars en déplacement

    For this winter, I'm looking for someone who loves the ocean atmosphere in winter but who can also help me with some improvements to the house that will be rented out next summer.
    (dismantling a deck, repainting, garden maintenance)
    I'd also like someone who loves animals to look after them while I'm away.
