Help renovate an old farm and simple gardening in well preserved Jura, France

• 

  Description

  Hey ! I just bought a farm in Jura, France, a nice and preserved region, famous for cheese. I'm turning it into a place for mindfulness and nature retreats. For the incoming months, there will be a lot to do here with renovation and a bit of gardening.
  
  The place is really quiet here, in French countryside. If you're looking for city life, that's definitely not the place for you ! ;-) But if you're looking for calm, regenerating and authentic French experience, you're more than welcome.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You'll have an authentic regenerating french experience in the countryside far from city life. I can share meditation, guitar playing, cooking, tips for things to see around and a good company ! I can also provide travel tips as I went for a world tour last year, experimenting lots of things.

  Help

  I traveled quite a bit and already had several work exchange and volunteer experiences, so I know what a traveler might expect and how to run things smoothly. I'll do my best to make your stay as nice as possible. I don't expect you to provide a big load of work and you don't need particular skills. Just do things as well as you can, mindfully, taking care of your body, as a responsible and grown-up person and we'll get along really well ! I need help renovating an old farm, so it will be a lot of woodworking, fixing / moving things, painting, cleaning and also gardening. Nothing really technical but you have to be in good shape (you don't need to be a Rambo). We'll "work" on a "5 hours a day, 5 days a week" basis.

  Languages spoken

  English, French, Spanish and a bit of Japanese !

  Accommodation

  For accomodation, I got a cosy private bedroom for 1 person or a couple at my flat. Or you can camp at the farm in a small shelter, tent or in your van. For food, I provide veggie lunch and diner with mostly organic and local food, everything home cooked. I don't take breakfast (intermittent fasting), but I provide food if you do.
