  Description

  We are a French-Colombian couple with two kids (4 and 9 years), living near Nantes (Loire-atlantique)...and a bunny Biboune (4 years old).
  
  We have traveled before and doing volunteering in south América and now we looking forward to welcome people in our place.
  
  We would like to welcome someone for open our family to more cultures and exchange languages (Spanish, French, English), we love to practice différent languages and why not, learn some words from others languages...japanese? Our daughter is learning japanese and portuguese (basic) and my son is interesting about german (level 0 😁).
  Life is becoming to be isolated from each other that could be nice to be around people and really connect.
  
  We need help for gardening, manual work, doing stuff together is more fun than alone.
  Sometimes we feel a bit overwhelmed, so a fresh perspective and a tidy touch are very welcome.
  
  We have a place it begins to look like a jungle (out of control!)…
  We re between two places where we live (near Nantes; Le Pellerin) and where we are building a house (Corsept). The last place is located just 10–15 minutes by car from the beautiful beach of La Pierre Atelée and 10 minutes by car from Saint-Brevin-les-Pins.
  
  In general we re busy with daily tasks but it could be nice to have people around for sharing, talking, not necessarily doing an specific task.
  We re building our house during holidays.
  
  You could enjoy to visit Nantes & around, also to explore the Atlantic coast of France.
  
  If you like simplicity, and meaningful exchanges, we think you’ll feel at home here.

  Help

  We’re looking for people who enjoy being outdoors and don’t mind getting their hands a little dirty in the garden (cutting grass, planting, clearing brambles, etc.). It’s much nicer to do things together than alone.
  
  It would also be great to have someone who likes to bring order to things — helping us sort, declutter, and organize.
  
  We won’t ask you to take care of the kids, as one of us is always there.
  .
  For example, you can give us a hand in the mornings and then enjoy your afternoons relaxing, exploring the area, or focusing on your own projects. We’re flexible, and you’re welcome to contact us even at short notice.
