  Description

  I’m a 27 years old Dutch guy, living with my dog Kesho in Biel, Switzerland and working as a nurse in the local, German/French bilingual hospital. I’m looking for a French (native) speaker to improve my French with, and to keep my dog some company and walk her when I’m working.
  The times for walking my dog can be fully adapted to your own schedule, so you will have a lot of free time that you can use to explore the area.
  My biggest wish is to get to speak some French every day :)
  
  I’m an active outdoor person into hiking, cycling, trailrunning and (wild)camping, always accompanied by my dog. You’re welcome to join us on our adventures if you like!
  
  I love traveling, meeting people from different cultures and learning new languages.
  I’m an open minded, relaxed guy

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  As a Dutch guy who just moved to Biel, we could explore the city together. I’m an active person, often going on hiking/biking/camping trips in the mountains with my dog. You will be welcome to join me on any activity.
  I speak fluent Dutch, English and German that I can help you with too, or some tips on dog training & behavior ;)

  Help

  I’m looking for someone to practice speaking French with (preferably a French native speaker).
  It would be great if you can also help me taking care of my dog while I’m at work (walks and just keeping her some company in the house).
  For the rest we will be maintaining the household together, so just some light tasks to keep it clean.
  I don’t need help on fixed days or times, we can just see what works best with your schedule.
  
  I'm receiving a lot of messages to reply to, please note that I'm ONLY looking for French speaking people.

  Accommodation

  I’m living alone with my dog in a big old house that belongs to the family of friends of mine. It’s 10 minutes by bus to the city center, and next to the forest. You will have your own bedroom (for which I have to ask permission from the house’s owners, please let me know the exact dates of your stay).
  We share the bathroom, living room, kitchen etc.
  I will provide the food. I like cooking but don’t have too much time for it, so I’ll be happy to take turns. I usually bake my own bread, and try to cook and eat healthy.
  
  No smoking.

  What else ...

  You will have a lot of free time that you can use as you wish, many things to do around. I’m living on a hill next to the forest, with the lake and the city at walking distance. I have a (small) parking space that you can use. There’s a bus stop in front of the door, I don’t have a car and I go everywhere by bike or public transport.
