Description
Hello everyone, we are a family of four travellers who has lived in different countries. We speak several languages and like the community life (with some privacy too :)).
We love to share moments with our friends and are easy people, always interested in the diverse and varied experiences of the people we meet. We now live in a small town in the Pyrenees, a few kilometers away from a beautiful ski resort, a few minutes from thermal baths (spa town), and a few meters from plenty of extra hikes.
We would like to find one or two persons who are curious, joyful, easygoing and balanced to help us with our house.
Also, that would be better if these persons are motivated by mountain life, nature, sport as it is a paradise for that here!
Please, read the section "Help" for more details about our needs.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am a teacher of French as a foreign language (FLE), so I will be able to teach French easily. As said previously we enjoy nature and sports so we would be glad to show the places we like throughout activities.
If you like nature, sport, the sweetness of life, this region is made for you! The first big city (Tarbes) is 20 minutes away by bus and many activities are possible: kayaking, trail running, canyoning, skiing, hiking ...The Spanish border is 1h30 away from here and you can access the Atlantic coast in the same amount of time (Biarritz, St Jean de Luz...)
