    Description

    We have a big house here in Verrières le Buisson, to welcome workawayers, and up untill now it has been a fantastic experience, cultural exchange and way to help each other. We would love to raise our level of english, and german, and ...other suggestions ?

    We are a family of two , willing to open ourselves to a village spirit.

    We love to be inspired by great cooking talents, and share some musical and poetry evenings. Our Neighbour is a harping, and my kid of 12 years old is fund of the Flûte. So we like to share music in duets.

    And
    We need help for :
    - gardening
    - painting
    - sharing skateboard sessions
    - tidying the garage
    - cooking

    You would have time during the day for your own projects. And I can also share 30 to 45 mn a day, focusing on your french (vocabulary, grammar).

    A few important things.We are a low-tech home: no phone or computer in the kitchen or living room, to keep these spaces peaceful and screen-free.

    We enjoy fresh food, music, creativity, sports (basket, tennis, skate board, Aikido, and meaningful conversations.

    Everything here is based on trust, respect, and sharing, faithful to the workaway spirit.

    If you have questions or want to know more, feel free to contact me.
    We would be very happy to welcome someone open-minded, musical, creative, and enthusiastic to share a beautiful positive cultural exchange with us.
