  Description

  Hi there!
  We are looking for help with the renovation of a mountain house located in La Clusaz, a beautiful summer and ski resort located 30 minutes from amazing lake city Annecy (France), 50 minutes from Geneva (Switzerland).
  We will be there starting on May the 1st, for 6 to 8 weeks, then again probably in September, till December the 1st.
  It's a perfect time to go hiking, cycling, climbing and chasing flowers in the mountains or to go swimming in Annecy's lake.
  We need dynamic helpers to take care of a house located at an altitude of 1500m which needs to be renovated and put back in order.
  I am a French journalist, nature lover, speak English and Portuguese after living 3 years in the Nordeste/ Brazil and in Portugal, traveled a lot of times to India, and I am currently in South East Asia, traveling around and workawaying too!
