    Description

    I live alone with my two dogs in a forgotten, almost dead mountain village, on a 3HA property, with lots of fruit trees surrounding two old and very coquette little houses and a big ol wooden barn.
    I've been mostly living in the mighty french alps several years before, but last year the winds moved me here, where i can feel the heartbeats of the Earth.

    I have several projects in mind, about which i am more then happy to talk if right moment comes. Like small projects like big and daring ones, with some luck will probably get to make it all happen.. for now because of a very limited living budget is just freestyle work with what nature has to offer us, to make every days life possible and can focus on our inner child

    I am also new to this platform and to this volunteer hosting system. I traveled alot in my life and been helping out in every place i could, now it seems like time came i need to ask for your help through this platform.
    I am not a good text writer either but hope message reaches out, we all could do something nice here.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    i am a builder, an art loving dreamer and i think every moment well spent is teaching us something.
    this valley is still very wild, untouched; little hills look like some god just pulled them out from the ground with bare hands.. wish you would see them like i do! here you can learn to sit still, to breathe and to slow down a bit, pay more attention to you, to life

    Help

    All kind of resonable helping hand is welcome, gardening or builiding. you will be helping me or i will be helping you, depending who has more experience. The idea is that one can motivate another, from hand to hand can come out beautiful things if done with harmony and respect for the nature.
    my very first to do project would be a new selfcomposting outhouse. i have carpentry skills and all necessary tools, but in the very eco friendly know-how part i am still just a little student.
    another priority is to organize a kitchen somewhere, also lot to repair and clean inside and outside, all around these old little buildings; it is shortly fruit gathering and conserving season! this year fruit trees exploded, lots of fruits but they're also in need of nursery as they are very old and look tired. good time to gather firewood for winter, forests nearby are just smiling when we clear the dry and fallen trees and branches.
    water is another big priority, i have two places around the place where i can find good drinking water, they of course need a bit of cleaning. both are lower from the living place so i still don't have it running up here.
    i have a vision from the close future with a lake on the middle of the hillside, from where the green house and the whole garden can safely drink enough water anytime of the year.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    i can offer tents for ones who don't have, can be installed in various places near the house, among fruit trees, wild flowers or even on the top of the hill. or you can offer me help and we can quickly make cozy a room in the house. Also the barn offers a big sleeping place for the ones who dare.
    otherwise with other words, beside an unstable electric connection i can say conditions are those of a good wild bushcraft/camping, for the pretentious and volunteers with luxurious habits i might not have an option.
