    Description

    We are a couple from England, Bristol and we live now in France. This is a healthy and amazing area with beautiful views of snow covered mountains, little people, little cars, some tractors. We have a healthy approach to eating and a lifestyle. We do everything on our own, however, we would welcome some help. Currently, we have to continue building the road of sand, gravel stabilizers and gravel. We also need to prepare a garden for spring time.

    We have built a beautiful house in the Pyrenees Foret de Gaia in France (Sariac-Magnoac 65230) in the pine forest. We have also built two wooden cabins with wood burners and all conveniences to live in them while we were building the house. We have fiber optic internet .

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I believe, we have a lot to offer: the beauty and the luxury of the place. I speak 3 languages (Russian, English, German) and I am learning French. I am a professional translator having my own language company Translations Chamber UK. I believe, you can master a language when you learn the culture and the mentality of the people who speak the language you learn. Our native languages are English and Russian. We love cooking various dishes (French, Russian, Italian, Indian, etc.) and everyone adores our food.
