Description
Hello everyone and thank you for your interest. I have bought a house in a little village where there are only three other houses. All shops and commodities are three kilometers away so it's not that remote. I need help with the garden, design layout, flower beds implementations, making a pond, getting a veg patch started etc.. There are some construction work to be done for those who know what they're doing, like insulating the garden shed, removing the metal cladding and replacing it with wood cladding + creating windows, building stone walls etc...
I have lived in four different countries: England, Norway, Japan and South Korea, speak fluent French, English and Japanese. I love learning about other people's culture and point of view in life. It's important to have respect and moral values if you want to come here. I have a black cat named 13 and I don't smoke. I'd rather you don't either.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We could learn about gardening, construction, and try new hobbies together. I am open minded and like to share thoughts and debate in a respectful manner. I love learning languages and would be thrilled to teach you french if you wish to. You can definetely make a difference in what I'm trying to do with my property as I'm open to advices and interesting inputs from others. If you are a creative person, we can do drawing and/or writing sessions or give spoon carving a go...explore the surrounding areas, etc.
