Description
Salut, ça va?
update 24.09.23:
We have spent almost a year in this beautiful country and we think and hope we made some good progress regarding our French-language-skills :-) For our last couple of weeks here, we are urgently looking for some hosts only in the Bretagne or Normandie. If you are interested in some help - please get in touch with us.

Nous avons passé presque un an dans ce beau pays et nous pensons et espérons avoir fait de bons progrès en ce qui concerne nos compétences en langue française :-) Pour nos dernières semaines ici, nous recherchons d'urgence des hôtes seulement en Bretagne ou en Normandie. Si vous souhaitez nous aider, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter.

Hey there,
this is Thomas and Sara - we are back at the traveling-road, ready for some new adventures and work-experiences and most importantly: We are finally going to learn to speak this beautiful language - French. Hence, we are looking for native French speakers who won't give us a chance escaping into any other way of communicating :)
We are very much looking forward to work hard in order to support you in everyday life, help you maintaining your farm, your garden & property.... - and to share a home & food & some warmth of heart in return.
Below you find some more information regarding the both of us, please enjoy :)
Sara:
In terms of interpersonal interaction, I treasure: politeness, empathy, humor, patience, courage, and a certain fascination for (human)beings and life in general (among other values). I enjoy having long chats - as much as silent moments, too (it's great when communication flows seemingly unintended from one subject to another with happy silence in between, I think).
I enjoy: hiking, dancing, doing sports (almost any kind), going on literary and 'real' adventures and I'm especially interested in topics such as social systems, soccer, humanity, environment and sharks.
I prefer cleaning over cooking :)
Thomas:
I'm excited to take a deep dive into your culture. I'm curious to gain new perspectives on the world and I enjoy learning new skills in order to widen my expertise and abilities.
I'm a thoughtful and polite person who enjoys meeting new people, to learn about human beings interests and what drives them. I'm patient and not afraid to ask, in case I don‘t understand something immediately.
I like being outdoors, I'm quite handy when it comes to building, repairing, painting, creating...things.
Since a few years I'm reducing my impact on our beautiful planet. Among other things I'm trying to differentiate between necessities and things 'too much'.
My passions are music-culture and design/art. I played in several bands over many years (not anymore) and I studied time-based media which is animation-design.
I prefer cooking over cleaning :)

We didn't spend much time together as they only stayed for one week and at that time I was studding and also some stomach problems, but I found them very nice people and it was a pleasure to have them at home.
