  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are a multicultural couple(Kenyan and British) living in France. We have come to love each others culture and continue to learn more. Living in France has also given us an opportunity to experience and learn the French culture immensly through neighbours, community and the french lessons we attend.
  During your stay with us, you will be able to learn about 3 different cultures. This can be through;
  Learning new skills, Language, food, music, day to day activities, make new friends and so on. We value connection with other cultures and love sharing our way of life and we hope that this can be a good way for cultural exchange. We hope that this opportunity will be incredibly fulfilling for all our workawayers.
  
  We would like to spend the day to day with you. We do not have a perfect schedule, but we do take each day at a time and mostly enjoy it without having to rush things.
  A little bit about our schedule For day to day activities. We usually wake up from 7am to 9am. This depends on what time we slept, or if we had returned back from a trip or so on On Tuesdays morning, We go to the local farmers market. We would like you to join us and you can tour the local town. We get back at around lunch hour, rest a bit and then work until evening. On some Friday morning, we go to another towns farm market, and some evenings, we go out to a local bar. This will vary from time to time. On weekends if there's Flea markets, we go to them or relax or do fun sports .On Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, we work morning and after lunch. When not working, we each have different hobbies and so we like to do them. We would gladly introduce you to them if interested, like Pottery. We believe in the power of exchange—whether it’s knowledge about permaculture, sustainability, or simply learning from each other’s experiences. Our aim is not only to create a self-sufficient space but also to foster a sense of community where everyone feels welcome and inspired by the natural world around us.
