    Description

    We were workawayers back in 2018 when we traveled in South America. We loved meeting great hosts and working on their projects. That’s why now we want to jump on the other side and join workaway.info as a host !
    We are living in our house in Savoie since 2022, in a city named La Motte-Servolex, next to Chambéry. We live near the city of Chambéry (train station), a beautiful lake where we can swim during summer and the Alps.
    We have a daughter born in June 2025.
    We want to host two people (couple or friends who are OK to sleep in a double bed). We ask workawayers to help us cooking and cleaning after meals. The idea is to share the tasks of our life in community.

    We work during the week as employees but David works from home and will be available. We can show you around during weekends.
    You will also be our guests and we will do everything to make you enjoy your stay here. We could have a walk in the Alps nearby, swim in the lake, eat french specialties… We are also looking forward to meeting you and exchange our cultures !

    Nous sommes d’anciens workawayers : nous avons fait des projets en Amérique du Sud, rencontré de super hôtes et nous sommes heureux de proposer un projet Workaway chez nous, en France.
    Nous vivons dans notre maisons depuis mai 2022 en Savoie (73), plus précisément à La Motte-Servolex. Nous habitons proche de Chambéry (une ville dynamique avec Gare SNCF), d’un superbe lac et des Alpes !
    Nous avons une fille Ariane née en juin 2025

    Nous préférons accueillir deux workawayers en même temps (couples ou amis qui acceptent de partager un lit double). Nous demandons aux workawayers de nous aider à cuisiner et à nettoyer après les repas. L'idée étant de partager les tâches de la vie commune.

    Nous travaillons en tant que salariés en semaine mais David télétravaille et sera disponible. Nous pourrons visiter les environs le weekend.
    Nous vous accueillerons aussi en tant qu’invités et nous ferons notre possible pour vous faire découvrir la région (promenades en montagne, pique-nique au lac, découverte de la ville, etc.), les spécialités locales, la culture française… et nous sommes impatients de vous connaître vous aussi !
