Descripción
Hello, I'm Lola.
I’m a Canadian / Irish / British theatre actor and have been living and working in France for over 25 years. In 2022, I bought a 100-year-old stone house in a town in Ariège. Two other members of the household are my dogs: Jalia, who is very friendly and affectionate, and Sami, a recent rescue — timid but very sweet.
With the help of wonderful Workawayers from all over the world, I have been restoring the house, and there are still some projects left to complete.
This year, I’m especially looking for people who already have some hands-on DIY experience and enjoy practical, manual work. Some of the remaining tasks require attention to detail and a good sense of how things fit together.
I’ll be working alongside you and happy to guide, but I may not be able to teach everything from scratch at this stage of the project.
Minimum stay: a week.
GENERAL INFORMATION
There is a train station in the town, so on your days off you can get around easily. There are frequent trains to Toulouse and, in the other direction, to Foix and into the Pyrenees mountains. The town has shops, a few restaurants and cafés, a food market on Saturday mornings, and a flea market on Sundays.
I enjoy meeting new people and exchanging cultures. Of course, you will also have your own space.
I speak fluent French and can offer help with English, French, or anything related to theatre.
I would really appreciate a helping hand.
Best regards,
Lola

Sami
Sami is a rescue dog who didn't have a very nice life before so he is very timid but he is getting more and more relaxed. He prefers not to have physical contact but he loves treats and will accept them from you once he's established you're not a threat. He's very calm and sweet .

...I stayed at Lola's place for almost 4 weeks and I enjoyed it so much! She is a very lovely, caring and easy-going person and even offered me her own bedroom when she went on vacation. Moreover, she always made sure we are fine with the work and we never had to work too much;) Her mom Betty is a very cheerfull person as well… read more
Unfortunately we couldn't communicate as much as I would have liked because of the language barrier but with a translation app there was no problem for her to understand what help was needed.
I would thoroughly recommend hosting… read more

It was a great experience for me. Lola, Betty and Jalia are all lovely and helped me to be comfortable during my stay.
In my free time I went to the sea, Sidmouth is nice, and really close, and Exeter too. We also went out all together a few times for some great pub lunches… read more
