Description
We are happy to start our adventure as a Host in the south of France in a nice village near the lakes of Saint Jean and the natural park of the Alberes. There are plenty of outdoors activities to do around here such as hiking, climbing, skiing, canoeing/kayaking, trekking and we are also close to the beautyful playas of Spain.
I am quiropractic and I live in a cosy house with garden and a beautiful orange tree, close to all services will allow volunteers to be independent and explore the surroundings by walking or biking.
We love playing chess so we often have meeting with friends and play match. We speak various languages including Italian Spanish French English, which helps to share knowledge and skills in various fields.
We need volunteers who are fit and motivated, most of the work you will do requires a hands-on aptitude and can be done at your own pace.
As I am transforming my structure into a coliving where I am planning to organize a space to play ping pong.
The idea is to empty the space, prepare the walls, paint and place a handmade game table with a sliding door that separates it from the rear space. I need people who know how to carry out DIY work and basic internal masonry work.
As well I need peolple technologically apt happy to do any computer based work or admin web profiles.
We have a 4 -5 hour working day, 5 days a week. The hours can be divided according to the needs and potential of each day (weather conditions, etc.). Your cooking and running the house are outside the workday schedule.
I prefer a staying of minimum 5 days and a maximum of ten days for workawayers.
I love to cook as well as organize a cookers team with simply and tasty recepy so it will be a pleasure to share my cuisine with you.
