  Descripción

  I'am Frederique, I'm 55 and I live in a wonderful place called Douarnenez.
  It's in Brittany, in the west of France. It's a very lively city on the sea side. There are regular concerts, at any time of the week, exhibitions, two movies theartres and of course several beaches !
  
  I have two daughters, Louise and Zoé, 20 and 23 years old. Louise met wonderful people in Australia and New Zealand thanks to Workaway and I found it great ! Now I would like to allow people to discover the place where I live and at the same time get some help.
  I live in a nice old house with 3 bedrooms and I did a lot of work on it. Now there are lots of little things to do to make it perfect. So I need help with painting, hanging shelves, pictures and also taking care of the garden because I left it abandoned (it's a small garden).
  I work at home (I'm a tour manager) and I have free time, so we can do the work together.
  This year I'll need help in Spring time from April to June and maybe in August.
  
  I see collaboration between volunteers and hosts as a real exchange. No one is at the service of the other. Meals are important moments to share but also to prepare together (I don’t want to be the only one cooking for everyone). The lunch preparation time is part of the working time of the day and can be done in turn and the preparation of dinner can be done all together or each in turn.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Douarnenez has a vibrant cultural scene, with numerous festivals. I know the organizers and can put you in touch if you'd like to volunteer.
  
  Brittany is a very culturally rich region. There is a language inherited from Gaelic. I speak it and can teach you the basics of this language.

  Alojamiento

  My house has three bedrooms.
  One of them is for me, and I keep one for one of my daughters when she visits. That leaves a large bedroom with two double beds. If none of my daughters are coming, it's possible to use the second bedroom.
  If I have guests coming and no room is free, we can set up a tent in the garden with a comfortable mattress. But that will be a one-off.
  For meals I find it interesting that we share the chores and everyone cooks. It's a great way to share favorite recipes.
  I eat very little meat and would be delighted to welcome vegetarians; it will allow me to discover new recipes!
  I favor organic food and I buy my food at the market (there are several during the week, and we have many vegetable growers).
  
  I earn very little money, I buy the necessary food but if you have special requests I prefer that you buy them yourself.

  Algo más...

  I live a 30-minute walk from the town center and it's only 10-minute bike ride. I can lend you a bike and occasionally my car, if I can guarantee you're a good driver.
  In Douarnenez, we love spending evenings in the bars and restaurants along the port. I can take you with me so you can meet people.
  I play tuba in a marching band. If you play a musical instrument, I can put you in touch with other musicians.
  
  Smoking is not permitted in the house, especially not in the bedrooms, but it is possible to do so on the terrace.

  I don't have a closed office to work in. I work myself at the dining table... but if you need to work on your computer we could manage it.
