Description
Bonjour, I am Sarah-Jane. I am French "originaire" from Bordeaux but a globe trotteur. I have been travelling around the world and still go on vacation whenever I can. I worked in some of the countries (Germany, USA, Venezuela, South Africa). I always came back "richer".
But as well I'd be happy to welcome people from other countries at home to exchange experiences, ideas and get some help for my house.
I have my own business (renting medical Equipment) so I can be busy sometimes.
I am interested in meeting open minded people with international expériences.
Types of help and learning opportunities
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The workawayers who came benefited from an extremely rich exchange. Languages spoken and explanations, typical French cuisine and cooking classes, tourist outings, varied cultural outings, sports outings, local meetings.
Help
I have started with workaway in June 2013 and I am very happy with the experience.
The person can stay one week maximum...
I would like somebody who can help in my house in Saint Denis de Pile for renovation or maintenance...
I will ask around 20 hours a week (5 days work - 2 days off) and we share experiences for work and normaly won't start the tasks before 10 am. The hours can be flexible.
My house is typical stone house from this region.
It is 200m2 in the country with a garden

Accommodation
You will have a private bedroom and shared bathroom.
During the helping days I will provide you breakfast and lunch, simple meals but home made. No diner.
But you will have a place to store your own food (fruits, cookies, drinks...)
I have wifi.
What else ...
I believe you will enjoy these 2 places.
Bordeaux belongs to the Unesco World heritage but is also famous worldwide for it's vyniards and has beautifull beaches 50 km away.
My house is 10 min biking from downtown and the famous monuments (Pont de Pierre, Place de la Bourse, etc) but as well 10 min biking from parks, lakes, green places.
Saint Denis is in the middle of famous vyniards places. You can enjoy the country side but with access to free buses to go around.
I will be more than happy to tell you what to do during your stay and if I have time to take you out to famous places/monuments, local places like markets, concerts, hiking trails.
On your days off you can take a bus to the ocean or to famous vinyards and Unesco Saint Emilion.
And you'll probably discover much more!

After graduating at the end of 2012, I decided its time for a break. I therefore decided to take 2013 off in order to have a year for myself. A year in which I can find the time to do the things I never had time for...a year of experiences. I went onto workaway...found Sarah...and had the greatest… read more
I first hesitated to welcome him since he was young and I needed somebody with experience and technical skills for the renovation. I also had to work some to help him with his visa. But I don't regret at all!
He works very well, is self motivated, goal oriented, understands very well what is needed, takes… read more
He helped me a lot in the renovation (sanding, plastering, painting, repairing a roof terrasse). He really has technical building skills and we were working together as a team.
He also is a perfect guest with education and has a true intention to share the "family" life.… read more
