  Description

  Workawayers wanted from 03/15th to 05/15th to help us to work in the house and in the garden.
  
  Hello, we are a french family with 2 teenagers (16 and 14), 1 dog, 2 cat.
  
  We live near sea and moutains, in a big garden, in the beautiful island of Corsica. The place is quiet and in nature.
  
  Important information :
  We like to meet people, to share our life, to have good times and to learn from people.
  Then all you will do at home are only to help us to free time in the daily life...
  We like if you can make things by your own to help us.
  
  Another thing : In the garden and sometime in the house and bungalow, there are a lot of wild animals like ants, bugs, rats and mice, spiders, etc... If you are afraid, disgusted or can't stand wild life, don't come !
  A ecological conscience is very appreciate !
  
  
  Here the place is great to stay far from cities, to enjoy the nature, listen to the birds, for meditation, to create, or just to try a french family life experience.
  There are only few and very rare public transports.
  
  
  For our helpers : nice bungalow, 2 bedrooms, kitchen, shower-room and own shower outside, WIFI, ping-pong, slackline (ask us if you want to try !), beautiful sunny panorama !
  Around, there are fields, or fruits trees, forest, where you can go for a walk.
  
  Also : we can lend you a bike, or two (bikes to fix often...).
  And not far (but only by car), 2 little cities (15km and 18km), snowboard, ski (in winter, 1 hour to get there by car), hiking, climbing places, canoë-kayack, beaches are at about 12 km, etc...
  
  Any proposition can interest us.
  
  Write and we could speak together of your coming !

  Help

  Please don't write us too early.
  One month before your coming that's early enough because we don't plan our life for long time.
  
  We hope you to work about 4 hours a day.
  Or more, or less. It depends on you, on us, on what we need, on the weather, etc...
  
  - "all the year" jobs :
  cut grass, trees, help for the potager (kitchen-garden), little build, make wood for the winter, etc.
  Cleaning in the house, help for the daily life ( cooking, washing dishes, etc...).
  
  - The potager to continue.
  And if we have time, we could make plans together, find new things to do, painting in the house, etc...
  
  
  We enjoy
  - if you speak english or magyar with us,
  - if you play some music for us,
  - if you can show us things you know, (crafting, wire wrapping, macrame, make baskets, art painting, cooking, sewing, DIY with "recycle" or using natural things from around, little buildings, etc...).
  
  And if you have ideas about anything you can help us to do, of any new things to do... We are very open-minded !
