  Descrição

  Hello!
  We are workawayers ourselves for several years, as we like to help with someone's project, share cultural exchange. Our values: respect, kindness, share. Atmosphere: relaxed — serious work, done with joy.
  
  We are Ulrich (German) and Lorene (French). After years in Marseille, we moved to the countryside for a life change — we now live in Forcalquier, a sunny town of ~5,000 people in Provence, 1h from Aix-en-Provence by bus.
  Our house is in the old town; our garden, just 1 minute away, has a panoramic view over the town and hills.
  
  Our project
  We have a nice permaculture garden, with an amazing view. we are planting fruit trees, trying to grow our own vegs, cutting and making creative project with local bamboos, compost and soil regeneration. It's an experimental garden where we learn, experiment and enjoy !
  If you like nature, shared meals, French cooking, outdoor work, cultural exchange, sharing experiences — you'll probably enjoy it here with us. Some tasks can be physical, so it helps to enjoy working with your hands (and even sewing 🙂).

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  We are a multicultural Franco-German couple who have traveled a lot throughout our lives. Meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds is something we truly enjoy.
  For us, the most important thing is human connection, sharing experiences and exchanging ideas. Workaway is not just about work — it’s about meeting interesting people and creating meaningful exchanges.
  We know the region very well and are always aware of what’s happening locally:
  festivals, concerts, markets and cultural events. We are happy to share our knowledge of the area and guide our Workawayers so they can really experience the local life of Provence.
  There is also a bicycle available if you want to explore the surroundings.
  We have high-speed internet, so the place can also work well for digital nomads who need to stay connected while enjoying nature and a slower lifestyle.

  The activities are mainly outdoor and practical, such as:
  gardening
  planting trees
  moving soil
  Some tasks can be a bit physical, so it helps if you enjoy hands-on activities.
  But the atmosphere is relaxed: we like to work seriously but with joy.
