Come to the paradise and help us around the house in Punaauia, French Polynesia

Description

We are a couple working from home with one friendly teenager (Kaelan 16 years old) two cats and dog. We live in a large house surrounded by Nature and 2 mins from the lagoon, enjoy surfing, stand up paddling and all sea activities. Tahiti is a nice and easy Island to live on, people are supper friendly and approachable. We have a spare bedroom we could share, the house is really easy for everyone to live in and not feel onto one another... We're pretty laidback, and we have simple and stable family pattern, enjoying sharing a nice family diner every nights. Unfortunately, we are pretty busy working, responding to clients etc and would need some help around the maintenance of the house and garden.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

Tahiti is Polynesian and french speaking country, we speak french and english at home everyday, so it is a great way to learn a new language while being able to enjoy the waves around the Island for surfing, whale watching during our winter months , and or diving it is one of the best place on earth to dive with clear warm waters all yer round. The Polynesian culture is very strong of course, it's a reach and very interesting culture to get to know.
