Description
Hello,
I am a classical musician, just retired.
Living close to Geneva, (15km from downtown), but in Haute Savoie - France.
Countryside-property with an important garden, beautiful view and quiet surroundings (center of village 1,5km)
Music is still very important in my life (any style, but rather acoustic).
So are bicycle-riding, fresh air, moments shared with family and friends.
My younger daughter is still around every other week.
I am looking for some help around the house, gardening, trimming of trees

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Lots of friends (musicians and others), english spoken (fluently)
In Geneva interesting cultural life and, of course, Switzerland with all its charm!
I like to prepare and to share meals, lots of local specialities.
I can give cello or music lessons. Three languages spoken fluently: German, French, English
I am always curious to meet people from different horizons,still a lot of things to learn!
Help
The garden being pretty big (2200m2) and fertile, I would like some physical help to maintain a reasonable balance between 'will and wild'.
There are lots of trees (almost like in a park), and very many different plants (don't know them all.)
Also quite a lot of fruit.
So it's about garden-work, cutting, cleaning, organizing.
Some trees have to be trimmed.
I'll gladly join in but can't do it all by myself.
