Description
I travelled a lot during my life and now I live in a very quiet place near the ocean. I used to live with my 3 children but they are away now. My place is quite big and I need help for maintenance and for the garden. I grow organic vegetables and restore an old farm;
The ocean here is great for surfing and there are famous spots here.
I am easygoing, , non smoker and cool person, interested in ecology, nature, birdwatching, photography, playing music (piano, guitar, violin), classical and tango, dancing also argentinian tango.
I am looking for someone to help for painting and working in the garden. I can offer a quiet room vhere you can be totally independant , we can have meals together or have your own kitchen. You can choose.. I can also teach piano, argentinian tango, french, and english for beginners. You can enjoy the good air from the ocean with no covid, swim or surf in the waves, walk in protected area, I would like to let you know what I am expecting and what are the conditions for a stay here.
I live alone at the momen, it is quite a remote place. There are not much things to do here for citizens who are use to bar, disco or restaurant In winter everything is closed about 5km around. You can go biking, walking in the nature, surfing, kitesurfing, swimming . ..So you must be a nature lover.
It could be very windy some time, but also sunny and quiet. In winter I could need someone to keep the house clean and take care of 9 cats, so you might stay on your own, feeding the animals once a day.
There are 3 houses, I will stay in one of them and the 2nd is for rent and the 3rd one you can stay in on your own. There is a room with a single bed quite confortable. You have toilet and hot shower only in your ownhouse. It is quite comfortable
I wanted to tell you that I can't afford to host you for a long stay as I am not rich and can't afford to feed someone for more than 2 or 3 weeks. So if we get on well together and if you reasonably help me I ll offer meals twice a day. (You will make your own breakfast). If I am away for several weeks you must buy your food ;
I suggest that we try 1 week first and if both of us are happy you can stay 2 or 3 weeks or more.
About the work:
Depending on your skills, you can paint walls or ceiling, doing plumbing, carpentry, helping in the garden. Etc. Always something to do here. Even order the house.
I would like you to help a t least 3 or 4 hours a day, from 1 to 5 o clock in winter. but you can choose to work when you want, depending of the weather. In summer it could be 3 or 4 hours when you want
We ll have meals together ( except breakfast) and I would appreciate a hand for cooking.
I can take you to some places around if you are interested by visiting Brittany. And you can also use a bike.
So for a first contact we ll try 1 week and see what 's going on...
See you soon

You can give a help when you want, as long as you want. You can relax, and experience the life in the middle of nowhere in the nature. Don't expect a very busy social and cultural life. There is 1 bar 1 km from my house that's all;Help
I am essentially looking for someone who can do hard job like painting , helping in the house as I restore an old farm and appartment plaster, plumbery, etc, also some gardening: plant vegetables, cut the grass, and maintaining large lawns, eliminating tall grass and clearing brush, I would love to plant many old variety of vegetables... Also building a small wooden house... also keep the house when I am away etc, so many things to do!...
