    Description

    Hello friends.
    I am Paul, 35 years old, living in a large building along a chestnut tree forest, with my three cats and one dog.
    Renovating for many years, I wish now to go further and create back a production tool in this old farm.
    Actually i am doing studies not so far for improving my basic work in healthcare but i wish to continue the work i still got at home for week ends.
    And I need help for not being overwhelmed

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    My home is quiet, peaceful, and its surroundings are very protected, just aside Dordogne valley.
    I consider culture as a set of social rituals : as a meal, telling stories or crafting... Museums and visits are not so far though.
    The region is quite touristic in summer, far less populated in winter. But the diversity of the land has been preserved and its nature is still wealthy.
    Bests seasons for those who like changes are autumns and springs.
    I can show you places there that others visitors will never see.
    If you like cooking, I would be honoured to share tastes.

    I will be at school or practicing some part of the week, for those days i mainly need to care for animals, and mainly to put wood in the hoven...
    Nevertheless, I got my week-ends and wish to make things to go further in my project. And so : I need help for maintaining my little piece of forest, plant many things and arrange a garden.
    I've got three wide cellars that need to be arranged too : making furnitures, walls, doors, thermical isolation...
    Then there is a small building with a bread hoven that needs to be finished with doors and isolation, and covering the bread hoven itself with tiles as well as finishing gutters.
    MY biggest plan is to cut some acacias.
    THE biggest plan is to change the kitchen into a laboratory.
    Those are the projects currently in work, they are at the beginning.
    Already 8 years of work and everything is not ready... still some more work in felicity, I hope.
    We can also share some house tasks like cooking, but i provide everything.
    With hope someone will give me a hand, another time!

    I speak french as my native language, and spanish "not so bad" as i was used to speak it daily. My english is a bit rusty since i didn't practice for quite a long time but it still does it . I'm truly not a mental gymnast but i would be enchanted to exchange from any language i don't know whith some words i know.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I have three large beds in a wide room for hosting. The house itself is quite large and this room very comfortable (see photos).
    There is hot water, electricity, wood heating, internet connection...
    Number of volunteers is limited by the nature of current tasks and possibilities for hosting : groups of several peoples can be hosted only in those conditions.
    More than 8 persons could be hosted, but i don't have work for that much at some point.
    From experience that was at max 4, but everytime was an excellent experience.
