For family reasons, I couldn't stay more than a week with Freyja and Noa.
But it was a wonderful week.
I did a little gardening and had the great pleasure of walking Noa.
Stromness is a beautiful village and Freyja's house is ideally located.
A huge privilege to have been able to forge ties of friendship with this dynasty of women, including… read more

If you ever get the chance to host Cristelle... than you are very lucky and you shouldn't miss it. Cristelle spent about a month in my place, and during this time she cooked for me, took care of my house and my cat and did some sewing work. Plus we spent time together and did some language exchange English-French-Italian. She is fun, capable in… read more

A real pleasure to have shared Simona's daily life and universe. It was a good exchange. In addition to English, I practiced my Italian.
My main tasks were to prepare meals, take care of the cat, a little cleaning, maintenance in short.
Cooking Vegetarian was a new challenge for me, but I loved it and learned a lot.
Lugosi, the cat, is a quiet and… read more

Cristelle was like having an old friend to stay. She is kind, attentive and extremely competent with everything she turns her hand to. We had a wonderful couple of weeks chatting about our lives and sharing our thoughts about the world. Cristelle helped in the house, the garden and with the animals, all of which can be a handful at times. I tend… read more

Thanks to Miriam for making me feel so welcome.
As far as I'm concerned, I mainly cleaned inside the house and also a little in the garden.
I also walked Ralph, this big teddy bear of about 55kg and fed the ladies the hens.
The house is located in a very nice and quiet area.
Two extra weeks, full of particularly interesting conversations. We… read more

I consider myself very lucky to have met Kate, she is a true model of strength, kindness, good mood and sense of humor. I was so warmly welcomed by her and all the rest of her family.
I learned a lot about wool felting by watching Kate. I carded the wool myself and I was able to share my skills by making the pattern for a lined waistcoat and… read more
