Description
Hi,
I grew up in a farm in France, then worked 15 years in hospitality abroad (Ireland, cruise ships, Vietnam, Thailand, France, Denmark, Germany) and 6 years in a bank in Berlin.
I'm willing to improve my Spanish and meet people around the world.
Cheers!
Xavier

Having Xavier at our place was great! He was such a good help and supported us not only in the kitchen but wherever it was necessary.

What a great experience for my first Workaway! I felt very welcomed by the whole family and staff, even the cats (my favorite is definitely Raja). Small village indeed, but very central, good location to explore surroundings cities (Schwabisch Hall, Schorndorf, Stuttgart, Tubingen, etc) with my car. Also some great hiking around. You can swim in… read more

Thank you so much, Xavier! You really became part of the community while you were here. I saw you identifying so much with our project that you did not count working hours and just did whatever was necessary.... especially during the love&peace festival where we had up to 350 hungry mouths to feed! And besides you always contributed to bring a… read more

My first real community experience, loved it :)
At first I was a bit disoriented, but then one finds his way... It's very opened, lots of nice people (and cool dogs), and the choice is yours! The place is so big, there's something for everybody ; really enjoyed the gym, pool, sauna, bonefire and silly talks, serious talks, but before all people… read more
