Description
I live in a big house with a big garden in the north of France, somewhere between Lille, Bruxelles and Paris. Paris is about 1.5 hours to the south of us. Our workawayer will have his/hers own apartment so they can have their privacy, But of course they are also always welcome to share my space. The work will be domestic + gardening. Nothing too 'heavy'. My house is located in a very small and rural village which is in a very green area. In fact the entire area is is a national park. So if you're a nature lover, and you like hiking/cycling in nature, you will love it here. There's no noise or light pollution, so at night you can see the stars :)
PS: the photos of the bedroom and bathroom is your intended room
distance to the local airports:
Bruxelles international: 1 hour
Bruxelles south (Charleroi) 1 hour
Lille: 45 minutes
Paris (CDG): 1.5 hours

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
whatever talents you may already posses, I hope that we can learn from one another and help each other develop existing and learn new talents. I'm are not looking for anyone who is looking to stay for less than one week.
Help
In fact what I'm hoping to find is someone that will feel 'at home' here and will want to contribute to my everyday life as if it was their own. I work from home and I will endeavour to make you feel at home

My experience with Arien was very good. He is very reliable and cooperative and I enjoyed having him around. We had very interesting conversations and despite the fact that we do not always share the same view on things, it was interesting nonetheless.
