Description

My happy place is my garden. There I grow flowers, berries, fruits and vegetables. The best feeling is to eat food from my own garden. My other passion are languages. I speak Finnish, German, English, French, Swedish and Spanish. I think workaway could offer me both: work in the garden and speaking foreign languages.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Join us at our barn and the ...)

Before travelling to see Vera and Yohann, I had a brief phone call with Vera. From our brief chat, I knew that I would get on very well with this family. This proved to be the case, and I had deep conversations with Vera in German, French and English. Since I have studied a lot of Swedish this year, I was hoping to get a chance to speak a little … read more Swedish in France (wishful thinking?!), but then Yohann surprised me by speaking fluent Swedish to me straight away in our first conversation! This meant that I had the opportunity to speak several languages with Vera and Yohann.

They have an extensive library, so you will have plenty of good books to read in German, French, Spanish, Swedish and English. They are excellent language teachers, and their children can help you with French pronunciation and grammar, too. The three children are adorable, well-behaved, smart, charming and cultured, so you can have conversations with them about a variety of subjects. The eldest will bring you a book on any subject from his library, so be prepared for lots of knowledge sharing! I had the opportunity to visit a French table tennis club with the children and a fellow Workawayer, and we were warmly welcomed and allowed to play as if we had been part of the team for years.

My ten-day stay with them was a dream come true, as I have travelled a lot and stayed in various guest houses over the years. I have always wanted to rearrange a guest house or give hosts advice on how they could offer an even better stay. Vera let me get on and do things my way. I must say that moving around some furniture, giving everything a good clean, sewing some curtains and reorganising can make a huge difference! Since the results at the guest house were so satisfying, my host and I joined forces and reorganised her home too, so she can tackle her daily tasks and routines more quickly and maybe find a little corner for herself to enjoy tea and a good book.

I loved cooking in their kitchen, and the children enjoyed all the food I made, so it was a pure joy to cook for a larger group. My guest room was cosy, and I had my own bathroom with a hot shower. My favourite place was the backyard, where you could relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the French countryside. They have a lovely dog and a jolly ginger cat who were as welcoming as everyone in the family.

As fellow language lovers, Vera has inspired me in many ways. She has travelled the world and has lots of entertaining stories to tell. Her language skills are phenomenal! She even played and sang some of her own songs for me. It was a real treat!

Vera and Yohann were my first Workaway hosts, and I enjoyed the exchange so much that I am planning on doing several more Workaways in the future. The possibilities for learning languages and acquiring other skills are endless!

Irmeli is an exceptional woman, and spending time with her is a true gift! I would say that the things that, among the things that set her apart, are her inbelievable practical intelligence, her energy, and her generosity.
She arrived with her flower-decorated car and her bright eyes and frank smile, and from the very first moment I knew we would … read more
