Description
After many years of traveling i have touched down in the French Pyrenees about 5 years ago.
I used to work on music-festivals pitching down tipis. I still do occasional jobs on (electronic music) festivals, but at the moment it's a bit complicated due to Covid. I love the small things in life: art, music (i love to DJ), nature, good food, exchange culture, language -, etc. I'm quite social, but I also need time to myself - the property is big enough for that.
My project is broad but in a few words: the idea is to bring people to nature and to blow their mind with beauty and simplicity - I'm aiming towards sufficiency.
I'm based in Ariege, between Massat and Saint Girons, in the middle of a Regional park. (Parc Regional des Pyrenees Ariegeoises). It's in the mountains, but acces is easy - altitude is 550m
Helping hands are very welcome: There are eco-building projects like building a dome- greenhouse, outdoor kitchen, fixing a trailer for workaway guest,... Currently there is a vegetable garden and 30 fruit-trees which need attention, general maintenance of the property, , maintenance of forest, fixing up a fence for animals, etc,,....
The land is 2,5 hectares, overlooking the valey. It's absolutely stunning here. There are plenty of walking trails around the property.
In exchange of helping hands, I can offer accomodation and food, either in the house, or in the trailer. If you travel with a bus or a van you can also park on the property - there is water and electricity.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Best, Fre
