Description
Hi I'm Catriona & live in Les Landes an hour south of Bordeaux airport with my dogs Louis—a 15yr old Cocker Mini Pincher mix & RBGLC—aka Ruthie a 5 year old 'supposed' Blue Heeler but she’s a Heinz 23!!
We live in a nice modern house on the edge of a forest in a small village with a pool.
I would love have someone come help me get my house organized in the French countryside. ideally for a week or two. I’m setting lots of plants and garden boxes too. I could also use help with dog handling, etc.
>>> It's a cultural exchange so not suitable for digital nomads. <<<
The house is not suitable for families, children, your own pets, smokers & or 420 friendly.
I’ll pick you up and drop you off in Bordeaux or area within an hour of my home.
If you have any questions... just ask. -
