  Description

  My name is Brooke Weidow. I'm 26 years old and I've been married 5 years. I live by myself since my husband is gone for the next 10 months for his military career. I have 5 chickens currently, and about 20 eggs about ready to hatch so we should have chicks soon. I have two dogs, an australian shepherd and an australian shepherd x border collie. My neighborhood is quiet with lots of hiking trails within walking and driving distance. I'm located in the Bitterroot Valley of the Rocky Moutains in Montana, USA. I'm situated within 10 minutes drive of the towns of Hamilton, Corvallis, and Victor. It's very beautiful and promises some breathtaking mountain views for those wanting to hike. I spend much of my time outdoors when I'm not running my small accounting firm.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  If the workawayer wants to learn or maintain English. This would be a great way to do that. You'd experience what it's like to live in a small town in America. We have many recreational opportunities like hiking, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, and more. I doubt you'll find a more relaxed workaway in terms of light workload and time to do what you want. I am however looking for a friend to spend time with doing these sorts of activities. So if that interests you. This is probably a good fit.

  Help

  I'm looking for a native french speaking female, about my same age, ideally, to come stay with me for free. The work would be very minimal. I'm looking for a friend and adventure buddy to speak French with me. I'm somewhere between beginner and intermediate in French. I would like the person to help me with cleanup like sweeping, dishes, and laundry while I'm working. But that doesn't take much time. The rest of the day would be yours to do with whatever you want. I will need you watch my dogs on occasion, but, they usually go with me everywhere and they could go with you, too. I'll also have a vehicle available for the workawayer's own use. Valid drivers license is required to use it. You'd be responsible for gas. Your housing includes a bedroom and bathroom to yourself.
