Description
Hello everyone!
We are an Italian family who moved from Milan to Paris, and then from Paris to Guadeloupe.
We are a painter and a multimedia producer and we came here because we fell in love with this enchanted island :)
In particular, we immediately felt comfortable here in Saint-François, due to its perfect balance between peace, nature and services. Also for its proximity to all the most beautiful beaches.
We need help renovating our house and our motorhome. Every now and then we happen to need babysitting, or help with our artistic projects.
We are very friendly and accommodating people, respectful of every diversity and personal peculiarity. We do our best to ensure a pleasant stay. Furthermore, the accommodations that we provide for Workaway are generally intended for tourists, so they are equipped and furnished with everything necessary for a vacation stay.
Don't hesitate to write to us for more information!
