Description
I am a filmmaker working between the U.S. and France, currently living in the countryside in Maryland near Washington D.C.. I grew up in South America and Asia, speak multiple languages and am interested in film, photography, languages, hiking, qi gong, literature, poetry, cooking, and music.
This is a rural area of forests, rivers, and lots of wildlife (deer, turkeys, foxes, birds). You would mainly be taking care of a sweet english golden retriever and a great pyrenees, and also helping with cleaning and small DIY house tasks. It is also possible to join for qi gong sessions if you want.
There is a large house in a 4 acre piece of land with large fields and woods behind the house with walking trails. It is located about 20 minutes drive from Washington D.C., and 5 minutes by car from a 500 acre bird sanctuary and river park.
The main house has one floor which you would have to yourself where you can stay comfortably and have your privacy. You would have your own bathroom with bath and shower on that floor, along with central heating and a shared kitchen upstairs. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am a film professor and am bilingual in English and French. I am happy to do language conversation lessons with you. We would also go to Washington, where some of the best free art museums in the world are located, as well as numerous film, music and other cultural events.

Help
We need help taking care of and walking our dog Nico, who is a 12 year old english golden retriever, and Finn, a four year old great pyrenees. Both of them are very friendly and affectionate. We also need help around the house with general DIY tasks, gardening and cleaning.

Accommodation
The main house has three floors and you would have one floor of the house to yourself so you would have privacy when you want it. You would have your own bathroom with bath and shower on that floor, along with central heating. Costs for food are covered.
The place allows you to connect with nature while enjoying the forests, rivers, the wildlife (deer, turkeys, foxes, birds), taking care of a sweet english golden retriever and a great pyrenees, and helping with DIY house tasks and cleaning. It is also possible to join for qi gong sessions if you want.
There is a large house in a 4 acre piece of land with large fields and woods behind the house that you can walk in. It is located about 20 minutes drive from Washington D.C., and 5 minutes by carfrom a 500 acre bird sanctuary and river park. If you have a driver's license you can drive the car here. -
What else ...
You would have plenty of time to yourself to explore Washington D.C. and other nearby towns. I have worked before in Europe with workawayers and look forward to sharing this beautiful place with other travelers.
