Description
My name is Nicholas. I'm a 42-year-old Luthier with a passion for crafting musical instruments.
Three years ago I sold everything I owned and moved to Soca valley, where I have been working on restoring a charming old house with a barn and garden. The house is nearly complete and in it there are two comfortable apartmnts which one is available to you. The garden is well on the way but always requires love and care. So, people with a green thumb welcome as there is always projects we can do in the garden.
The house and garden is not the only thing I care about. I hold a deep connection to the surrounding neighboring projects. I love to lend a hand to the local residents and I hope you will join me in this endevour. This work calls for a skillfull touch. If you have any skills in making ie woodwork, metal work or even doucumentry video work, will be much appreciated.
I search for older people really as I feel it will be a better match for everyone. I am easy going any questions please ask. I am not really on the internet that offen but I will reply if you message me. Please in the first message keep if short. Your age what hobbies you have and what skilled handy work you like doing.

Accommodation
For accommodation we have two recently restored apartments available. The rooms are cozy and would be ideal for one or two people there I'd also a sofa bed so possible to have. The accomodation is separate from my own living space, so you will have plenty of independence and privacy. we are walking distance off the soca river so after work is nice to walk the dog down the river and relax and swim on hot summer days.

There are endess things to do in the area. Soca Valley is truely pictoresque and the perfect place for a wide varety of outdoor activities. There are many beautifull hikes(you can start from the house and area with a wide variety of dificulty levels. You could also go cycling, mountain biking, kyaking or even paragliding.
