Description

Hi! My name is Loïc, I’m 28 years old, and I come from Annecy, a beautiful town right in the heart of the French Alps.

I decided to come to Ireland because I don’t just want to take standard English classes; I am looking for a true immersive experience. My goal is to share the daily life of a welcoming family, discover your culture from the inside, and improve my spoken English naturally while helping you out in return.

My background & What I can bring to your home:
I grew up in the countryside and have a very hands-on background. I am very used to hard outdoor work: clearing streams with a strimmer, mowing large areas of land, and maintaining trees and hedges. I even built a pétanque (French bowls) court from scratch!

I am a true DIY enthusiast at heart. I am very comfortable with manual work and attention to detail. I frequently help my friends renovate their homes, both inside and out. Whether it is DIY projects, renovation, painting, or heavy gardening, I am always happy to roll up my sleeves.

Whenever I have free time, you will find me hiking, trail running, or cycling. I have a lot of energy and I love staying active! I am very mature, independent, respectful of other people's space and routines, and always in a good mood.

A little note about my job (Digital Nomad):
Professionally, I am a freelance architect. My business is currently growing internationally, which is exactly why I need to improve my English! I am traveling as a digital nomad, but I want to be completely clear: during my stay with a host family, my work takes a back seat. My absolute priority is the time spent helping you and sharing your daily life. I am putting my business on "semi-pause" and will only work on my architecture projects during my own free time, so it will never interfere with the tasks you need help with.

If you are curious, you can check out my work on my website: Pierzo.com

I can’t wait to meet you and share some great moments together!

More details about your skills

Heavy Gardening & Landscaping: I am very used to demanding outdoor tasks. I can safely operate power tools like strimmers (to clear streams or difficult terrain), lawnmowers for large areas, and hedge trimmers. I also have experience pruning trees and maintaining a large property year-round.
• DIY & Home Renovation: I am a true handyman. I frequently help friends completely renovate their houses (both interior and exterior). I can do painting, repairs, basic construction, and I am very comfortable using a wide range of power and hand tools.
• Architecture & Spatial Design: As a professional architect, I have a great eye for detail and space optimization. If you have a renovation project, need advice on interior design, or want to build a small outdoor structure (like the pétanque court I built at home!), I would be thrilled to bring my professional expertise to your project.
• General Maintenance & Problem Solving: Having taken care of my family home since I was young, I know how to manage a property. If something is broken, I will always try to find a smart way to fix it.
• Physical Stamina: I am an avid trail runner, cyclist, and hiker. I am physically fit and have absolutely no problem with heavy lifting, digging, or spending the whole day working outside in the fresh air!
I am an independent worker, meaning you can show me a task and trust me to get it done efficiently and carefully. However, I am always eager to learn new skills if you want to teach me something specific!

What else ...

Originally from the French Alps, I am a huge foodie! I would be delighted to cook traditional French dishes for you, or make crêpes for your family. I am very sociable and love chatting, sharing travel stories, or playing board games in the evening.

Loic was an excellent guest who really helped me during the 3 weeks that he stayed here. He willingly and competently carried out the tasks that I asked of him, including watering the garden, strimming even in difficult areas and designed and built a wonderful new chicken enclosure for me.
Loic was a conscientious guest and kind to all the … read more

I spent three wonderful weeks on this farm in the heart of the Irish countryside. The view is magnificent, there are animals everywhere, and it is the perfect place to unplug and fully enjoy nature. It really feels great to be there.
Daily life is super varied and you never get bored. Every morning, I started by letting the animals out and … read more

I can’t really give feedback based on real experience because this workaway didn’t happen, feels wrong to give feedback on so little.
I also feel that this person will use this platform less than I do; as I’ve been using it for almost 10 years, and I think that’s his point of leaving a negative feedback for me. I’m only responding to the fact … read more that he gave feedback but I’d prefer to have just moved on and not say anything.

Our interaction when I rang him on WhatsApp was ok. I mentioned we were thinking of doing some renovations and his response was yes he could with design options help for free… which had me baffled a little considering this is an exchange but also I wasn’t looking for an actual design, just thoughts on what might be possible!!
During the period after our conversation, I had my college assessments and assignments to finish. Then a friend from North Dakota and her family wanted to visit. I haven’t seen her or her family in a decade, the only dates we could coordinate to include our mutual Spanish friend meant that I needed to have our house free from the 23rd to 29th. After our conversation on WhatsApp we didn’t have any exchange until I sent an email to ask was he still able to come at the end of June. It took him about a week to respond to me so actually I did wonder if he was coming at all and then I explained we couldn’t have someone in the house until the 29th.
It can be difficult to remember everyone’s dates from all the contacts we have and usually there’s some leeway from both sides on suitable dates.

His attitude to this email made me question whether he was a good fit to stay with our family in our home. It seemed like a bad start and a bad omen, previously I haven’t listened to this and gone ahead with the person but I felt that after 10 years, I should listen to our experiences! We certainly didn’t want a bad attitude or feeling in our house with our children. But to be honest, I still didn’t cancel him. I asked was I misunderstanding his response. I asked if he really still wanted to come to our home when his interaction had been negative. Technically he could still have come to our house from the 29th of June, because I am inclined to think tone can come across differently on text and email.

Many a time we’ve had people change dates on us, last minute, and we’ve just accepted that life happens! I believe most people have good intentions. I do believe that this guy could be ok to host if everything runs to his expectations so I think someone else could have an ok experience if they are ok with lack of flexibility and a little attitude.
