Description
Hello !
Thank you to read my profil and pay attention because I will accept only personal request and workaway who can have really affinity with the project and way of living.
The place is located in the middle of the fontainebleau forest. I look for persons who can help me inside and outside in my house.
I am looking for punctual help from dynamic, autonomous and enthousiast people. Somebody who really want be conscious and preserve nature. You need to be flexible and resourceful about your work.
You need to be enough independent to work alone and be in a good mentally condition.
During your stay, it is possible that you are alone with me or sometimes, I ll have visitors.
You ll work 5 hours per day, 5 days per week and after 2 days off. You ll prepare lunch or dinner in turn. We ll start work at 9 am to 12 pm with a snack break in between and 2pm to 4PM but we can change the schedule a little.
You ll help me to :
- plaster the walls outside or inside.
- take care of the garden ( It could be crush branches, mowing, grounds maintenance )
- cleaning the house with me.
- cut woods and make it on order for the fire place of the house.
- gardening (depends of the season)
I am vegetarian, You won't have fish or meat in our table but eggs butter and cheese. It is a non smoking house and we don't really drink alcohol but sometimes we like to drink natural wine or a beer. We enjoy getting to know each other and appreciate live music.
The house is close by bike to the 25 bumps hiking trail and the climbing blocks of the 3 gables forest.
During your stay, you will discover the forest as we have various walking paths or blocks for climbing. If you like the calm and the nature and need goodwill, you ll love the place .
I have bikes on site and a crash pad.
From my experience as a host, the best moments were when the volunteer really set out to discover a person, a place of life, their culture, their language and that was their primary interest.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I lived abroad with my family for several years and I am interested in others. I was a children's teacher and I am renovating the place to make it a place for internships. I practice Hatha yoga and Qi gong and I am a Trame therapist.
I like being with horses, there are some on site.
I like music and I am always up for going to listen to it or sing if there are musicians. There is a guitar at home.
I like speaking French and improving my English.

J'aime être avec les chevaux, il y en a sur place.
J'aime la musique et je suis toujours partante pour aller en écouter ou chanter si il y a des musiciens. Il y a une guitare à la maison.
J'aime parler français et améliorer mon anglais.
