Description
We live in a beautiful renovated old farm, with a lot of space Inside and outside, a garden, 1 dog and 1 cat. It’s a really nice home with a good atmosphere to live for some time, enjoying the place, the quietness, the region wich is really attractive especially for people who love nature.
SPECIAL NEED FOR February:
A handy man to do some reparings
And for April: somebody with knowledge in permaculture who likes gardening.
We would be really grateful for your help and try to do our best to help you with your project. We received many and very different work-awayers , some wanted to have time for themselves, to rest, to walk, to have a break. Some came to make new expériences and others to improve their French, Portuguese or Spanish.
We are really interested in being helped in the day to day life. Most of the tasks we ask are about : cooking,tidying, gardening, walking the dog…
Our spécial request for the workawayers is :
- a handy man
- someone who COOKS well. (healthy and tasty)
- someone with knowledge in permaculture and garden (not in winter)
- someone who likes dogs
The most important in the day to day life is cooking and gardening (especially march to october).
We would like to have a nice and fair exchange asking for 5hours of work a day. We offer a private room. The house and the place are really nice. There is a fantastic lake at 15 minutes by bicycle. We offer the possibility to use a bike. And we can invite you to discover our work. We are both working with therapy : Alexandra is in the area of Family Constellation, musico-therapy, and me, Christophe, I am working with breathwork, even if I also do family constellations.
We love to dance tango, swim in the lake, enjoy the nature and many other things in which you could join us, if you'd like to.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Christophe and Alexandra
Nous habitons une superbe région de campagne près du lac de Neuchâtel et à 45 minutes des montagnes. C'est vraiment une superbe maison où il fait bon vivre, en profitant du lieu et des alentours, du calme, de la région qui offre plein de possibilité surtout pour les fans de nature.
Nous serions très reconnaissants de votre aide et ferions de notre mieux pour vous aider dans votre projet. Nous avons reçu beaucoup de workaway très différents, certains voulaient avoir du temps pour eux, se poser, marcher, faire une pause dans leur vie. D'autres étaient là pour préparer un examen. D'autres pour apprendre le français, portugais ou espagnol. Nous sommes intéressés par une aide dans notre quotidien, la plupart des choses que nous demandons sont : cuisiner, faire les courses, nettoyage, promener le chien, un peu de jardin et de.
SPECIAL POUR AVRIL : QQN QUI AIME SEMER, PLANTER ET PRENDRE SOIN DES PLANTES ET DU JARDIN.
Pour février: quelqu’un qui sache bricoler et réparer des choses
Le top du top pour nous serait :
- Qqn qui cuisine bien (sain et bon)
- Qqn qui s'y connaît et sait faire de la permaculture: semer, planter etc... (sauf en hiver)
- un bon bricoleur
Si vous avez une de ces capacités c´est super pour nous.
Si vous êtes tout ça à la fois : on sera obligé de vous garder ! 😂
Nous aimerions un échange juste avec les gens intéressés. Nous demandons 5 heures de travail par jour, nous proposons une chambre privée, un vélo pour aller au Lac ou se balader dans la région qui est très jolie. Et si vous êtes intéressés vous pourriez découvrir notre travail, Alexandra travaille avec les constellations familiales et systémiques, la musico thérapie et le chamanisme. De mon côté, je (Christophe) suis aussi formé aux constellations et au travail de la respiration consciente.
Nous aimons danser le tango,, nager au lac, profiter de la nature et plein d'autres choses.
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer,
Christophe et Alexandra
