We are a couple, Thimy and Gauthier, in our mid thirties and we live in the beautiful countryside of Flanders between Bruges and Gent. We live in a renovated farmhouse on 2 hectares of land. We are constantly working on the garden and the buildings and we are looking for some help during the busy months of spring and autumn mainly in the garden.
We love animals : we have a cat, a pet pig and 2 large dogs.
I was born in Vietnam, raised in France and spent all my professional life as an expat (Hong Kong, Sydney and Athens). Gauthier is originally from the village and worked internationally for the last 15 years. We previously lived together in Athens. We now both work from home.

After years of intensive travels, we have chosen a more balanced and healthy lifestyle. We are quiet and value peace and calm. We try to shop as much as possible at local organic farms and we also love to cook. We don't eat meat.
You will be staying in an environment surrounded by comfort, nature and quietness. It is a great place to recharge.
We are looking for help mainly with gardening but some paint job to maintain buildings might be required.
Please note the work can be physical.
We are also open to learning new things!
