  Description

  I'm a Spanish retired man who recently bought a house in a very interesting and beautiful area. The house is a three bedroom one in a 4000 m² piece of land. The closest villages, Gardonne et Saint Avit-Saint Nazaire, are 5 km away,the Dordogna river about 1 km.
  
  I speak currently English, French and Italian. My mother tongue is Spanish. I become ELE teacher some years ago since I volunteered teaching Spanish to newcomers when in Spain
  
  I have some projects in my mind, so extra help is always a welcome relief. The type of help would be with tending a new vegetable garden, weeding, gardening, DIY and entertaining projects (light painting, sanding...) moving some stuff, cleaning...Better if you can drive a hand gear car but not really important
  
  It's recommended to have your own car or motorbike. I can provide a bike.
  
  There is a train station in Gardonne, 5km from home. I could drive you there if you want to get a train
  
  I'm willing to accept pets if they are friendly, but they will be not allowed in the house, only out doors
  
  If you want the night life, possibly this is not for you unless you have a car or motorbike. Bergerac is 15 km away.
  If you want the quiet life and listen to the birds singing, walks in the country and good views then this may be the ideal place
  
  I'm a sociable person and actively encourage conversation and cultural exchange especially at meal times as this this is as equally important to the meal as the food. I love to cook. Willing to learn new recipes. We can cook together
  
  You will be responsible for keeping your living area clean and tidy especially before leaving.
  
  We'll try to keep clean and tidy the common areas.
  
  I'm very flexible about helping hours, we'll chat about the schedule
