    Description

    I live in a lovely small house near Deshaies, a very cute village, and walking distance from two beaches good for snorkeling. The sunsets there are the most beautiful.
    The household is made of my husband (not here at the moment but joining in February) and my cat, and two other cats I'm keeping for my landlords.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    As a French teacher, I’m happy to help you with learning the language if you need it.
    I’m quite knowledgeable about cacao and chcoolate.
    I also write books, that’s why I need help to clean and cook so I can spend more time to write. Happy to share writing sessions with the workawayer.

  • Help

    Help

    The workaway would be in charge of cleaning the house (it’s a small house) and the garden (very small as well) for maybe 1 to 2 hours a day.
    I’m happy to take the workawayer to snorkel and tell them about the fishes and corals ; in the weekend I can also take them for hiking and introduce them to other people on the island.
