    **What I offer:**

    I am happy to open the doors of my home to all travellers who wish to discover Cameroon and more particularly the city of Yaoundé. My involvement in real estate, particularly renovation and furnished accommodation, combines with my passion for hospitality and African culture.

    I offer a comfortable room with a double bed, private shower room and free Wi-Fi connection. You can also enjoy the bright, spacious living room, the sunny terrace and all the rest of the house in communion with the family. As a volunteer here, you'll have the chance to immerse yourself in Cameroonian culture, learn or improve your French, and take part in various cultural and social activities.

    The house is located in a quiet and safe residential area, close to public transport, local shops and only 10 minutes from Yaoundé international airport (Nsimalen). Excursions can be organised to discover the sights of Yaoundé and the surrounding area.

    **What I would like from you:**

    I would like to have volunteers who love Africa, who are motivated, curious and open-minded, with a positive attitude and a desire to foster human relations above all. In exchange for hospitality, I'm hoping for help in welcoming guests to our tourist accommodation, for example, managing our company's social media, and even during work to extend our facilities or any other similar assistance...

    Share your culture with me and my family, help us prepare local meals, or accompany us to local markets and supermarkets. I value people who are sociable, ready to open up and share, because I believe that human relationships enrich our lives.

    We could also envisage helping you to discover a little more of Cameroon, particularly the coastal, southern and western regions, which are among the most beautiful tourist sites in Cameroon, apart from the north (a region that has not been totally secured so far).

    If you are interested in this unique experience, don't hesitate to contact me to find out more and to plan your stay with me in your second home in Cameroon.

    I look forward to welcoming you to your 2nd family and sharing our daily lives with you!

    Best regards,

    Evelyne.

    **Ce que j’offre :**

    Je suis heureuse d'ouvrir les portes de ma maison à tous les voyageurs qui souhaitent découvrir le Cameroun et plus particulièrement la ville de Yaoundé. Mon engagement dans l'immobilier, notamment la rénovation et les meublés de tourisme, se combine à ma passion pour l'accueil et la culture africaine.

    Je propose une chambre confortable avec un lit, une salle de douche privée et une connexion Wi-Fi gratuite. Profitez également du salon spacieux et lumineux, de la terrasse ensoleillée et de tout le reste de la maison en communion avec la famille. En tant que volontaire ici, tu auras la chance d'être immergé dans la culture camerounaise, d'apprendre ou d'améliorer ton français, et de participer à diverses activités culturelles et sociales.

    La maison est située dans un quartier résidentiel calme et sûr, à proximité des transports en commun, des commerces locaux et à seulement 10 minutes de l'aéroport international de Yaoundé (Nsimalen).

    Nous pourrions également envisager de te faire découvrir un peu plus le Cameroun dans son intégralité notamment par les régions du littoral, du sud, de l’ouest qui sont parmis les régions avec les plus beaux sites touristiques du Cameroun en dehors du Nord (région pas totalement secure jusqu’ici).

    **Ce que je souhaite de toi:**

    J'aimerais avoir des volontaires d’abord amoureux de l'Afrique, motivés, curieux et ouverts d'esprit, avec une attitude positive et un désir de favoriser surtout les relations humaines. En échange de l'hospitalité, j’espère une aide dans l'accueil des clients par exemple dans nos logements de tourisme, la gestion des médias sociaux de notre entreprise, et même lors des travaux d'extension de nos installations ou toute autre aide similaire…

    Partager avec ma famille et moi ta culture, aidez-nous à préparer des repas locaux, ou accompagnez-nous dans les marchés et supermarchés locaux. Je valorise les personnes sociables, prêtes à s'ouvrir et à partager, car je crois que les relations humaines enrichissent nos vies.

    Si tu es intéressé(e) par cette expérience unique, n'hésite pas à me contacter pour en savoir plus et pour planifier avec moi ton séjour dans ta deuxième maison / patrie au Cameroun.

    Je suis impatiente de t'accueillir dans ta 2ème famille et de partager notre quotidien avec toi !

    Cordialement,

    Evelyne.
