    For couples, you will also take care of grocery shopping, menus, cooking, etc. There is a housekeeper who does 30 hours a month of basic cleaning, you will manage her time and help out (laundry, cleaning, dishes, garden, etc...)

    - All meals provided, including your days off.
    - There is a 4WD car that you can use.

    Bora Bora is a beautiful place of recreation with lots of activities and a beautiful lagoon and nature.
    We can help you learn French language, business and commerce, computer skills. I've been here for decades, so I can help you integrate into the local community and meet great people.
    You can use a well-equipped home office.
    There is a small boat with a tiller 20hp outboard motor that you can use to experience the lagoon on your own, if you feel confident handling a boat like this. There is also a 4X4 for your travels and walks.
    The basic agreement is classic for this type of exchange: full living expenses in exchange for 4/5 hours of help per day, per person, but if you are dynamic, additional compensation can be agreed for additional help depending on the skills, work in the house for example.
