    =================
    **quick update; Im looking for someone to help march / april / beginning of May 2025 approx**
    =================

    Hello :) I’m renovating an old hotel in the heart of Brittany, France. Which I purchased in 2020 as a drastic lifestyle change from the working professional workaholic I was in England.

    I have now reduced the number of bedrooms from 24 to 7 suites, to convert this beautiful building into my home, giving an open plan more modern feel, buying such a huge building gave me a great blank canvas.

    As I’m doing this project on my own, 31year old in April 2024 and single. I must be crazy? Sometimes I question my sanity anyway… I am always in need of help from other people, I have met some really amazing people on Workaway and another similar website.

    If you want to experience rural France, and wake up to the sound of the birds and animals in distance, but be close to lots of touristic areas such as the Valley of the saints and Huelgoat yet still be close to all amenities (12minutes). It is a great place to come and stay. You can catch the train from Carhaix-Plougher to lots of places. Also if you’re into cycling you could try out some of the Tour de France routes.

    I enjoy meeting new people and sharing experiences, hopefully I will make life long friends along this journey.

    I’d like to learn more French to a fluent level and I can teach English, or you can practice your English skills with me.

    I have had several workaway experiences thus far and they have been fantastic.

    Situated in large grounds along the river where you can stay in your caravan/camper or there is a double room with adjoining bathroom available.

    I am a young gay man and welcome both male and female to get in touch as well as couples. I am a none smoker with a few petit chiens (small dogs, chihuahuas)!

    I advise that anyone getting in touch should be fit and healthy due to 5 flights of stairs!!
