Description
We are a German and American family who has lived in many countries with our five children. We now have a large country house where we live, 5 minutes by bike to the historic village center of Fuveau, There are time periods where Peter or Tanja must travel, but in early November is a time when both would travel, with Peter away for three days while Tanja already has a longer voyage planned. For that time period in November we are lucky to have another workawayer coming here, but we could use a workawayer for two main areas of help now (or maybe 2 people to split these tasks):
- Driving kids to and from school and activities
- Helping me put up a fence... I can teach you how and work with you on part of it, but alone I've been really slow and we have a LOT of area where we want to replace the current fence (so the dogs mentioned below cannot escape so easily!)
Bonus points if someone is experienced with dogs.
You’ll have your own separate space using a guest house on the property.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We’re a lively family with five kids who love sports, camping, hiking, museums, historic sites, and local festivals. The children speak four languages, have already traveled widely (our oldest has been to 30+ countries), and are very open and curious with new people.
Workawayers are welcome to join us in our activities and everyday family life. We’re happy to share local culture, history, and our own experiences, and we look forward to learning from your culture and creating meaningful exchanges together.
