Description
We are a retired couple keen for a little assistance with our French language skills. We live in Canberra but also have weekend retreat about 60 minutes drive away where we spend time absorbed in the bush.
We would love to share some time with native French speakers.
In addition, some gardening and cooking could be shared. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The workaway would benefit from living with an Aussi couple, from sharing language and sharing outdoors bushwalking experiences.
I am inspired to do this hosting after having meet a few workaways while travelling in Europe.
For travellers, this workaway would an opportunity to stop in one place for a short period, have reliable, safe accommodation, some bushwalking experiences and tips on places to explore for themselves
And get to know a friendly Aussie couple. -
Help
We would love a cultural exchange with native French speaking adventurers!
We have recently travelled to France and so would like to continue with our language learning.
And because we have been away there's a few basic household/garden type jobs we could share while speaking some French and English.
At our bush retreat near we are interested in maintaining our Cottage and our property so that it can be managed in the most environmentally friendly way.
We would love to connect with native French speakers to share language, culture and to perhaps share some bushwalks. -
