Description
Hello, (En français plus bas)
I am 42yo, was travelling as a workawayer few years ago and I am now a host :)
I have bought a small house away from the crowd with a view of Annecy lake. I am currently renovating it and will finish this before you arrive.
Next step where I will need help is the garden. It is huge and everything has to be done, we will prépare it for the future and build stuff like terrace, toilet, greenhouse but also, cut wood etc.
I would appreciate someone with a bit of autonomy to manage the vegetables, as it will be a background task you can do by yourself and we will have other important stuff to do together.
The house is 8km from Annecy lake.. but in the mountain. Its a bit remote so you need to have a vehicle if possible (electric bike, or classic bike if you are feet enough to climb the 8km/ 500m up).
The work might be a bit physical as I want to do stuff which is hard to do alone. It will be mainly outside.
if that doesn't fit you we can discuss about it before you come to find alternatives (there is plenty)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can teach you french as it's my first language.
I am a keen cyclist/mountain biker, trailer and skier. I can show you around the best place here to bike, run, trek or ski. We are at the entrance of the French Alps and there is a lot of mountains and nature to explore.
You might know that Annecy lake is one of the most famous holiday place, there is lot of activities to do on the lake.
I was also a workawayer for 2 years, I can share with you my experiences.

Accommodation
You will sleep in a small wood cabin in the garden. (You can see it on one of the pictures)
Its very small but with an incredible view. (See the main picture with 2 houses and the lake a the back... That's the view you'll get every morning)
Meals, shower, toilet will be in the main house
If you want to do 2-3 hours a day, you will have only accommodation
If you want to do 4-5 hours, I will provide meals.
If possible we will mainly work when the weather is average. When its a beautiful day, you can do something else, as I will ;)
What else ...
Public transport is very limited, best would be to go around with a bike or your own vehicule. There is no shop around the house, everything is 15 minutes driving (I will drive you if you need, you can also borrow my car for short drive)
