  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are a yoga teacher and a mountain leader, and we would love to share our passions with the Workawayer.
  We like making bread, gardening, brewing beer at home, playing piano or ukulele, knitting, walking and camping in the mountains, and all kind of outdoor activities (climbing, skiing, hiking, paragliding). There will be as well possibilities to learn/speak French or Italian.
  
  Since we are currently renovating an old grange in an eco-friendly way, the Workawayer could participate into this project and learn with us about, for example, insulating the grange with help and lime or build a tiled stove. The Workawayer could also help us, for example, in laying the wooden flooring or in making some furniture, and, of course, in gardening around the house. Regarding this point, if the Workawayer will be interested, she/he could learn permaculture techniques in gardening from our sister- and brother-in-law who partly use the garden to grow vegetables and aromatic herbs.

  Aide

  We could host a WorkAwayer from September to December 2025.
  
  During this period, we are looking for help on different tasks: light housework (prep meal, laundry, cleaning), gardening, help in renovating an old barn as our future house, and some baby-sitting (if needed, when children are not at school).
  
  We have 2 daughters, Nina and Zelie. Regarding children, Nina, our oldest child, will turn 4 in August and is attending pre-school; while Zelie, our youngest child, will turn 1 in June and will start attending the nursery school in September.

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  I love speaking English. I learnt Portuguese in 2010 when I spent 5 months in Brazil, so I'd be happy to practice it again.

  Hébergement

  The Workawayer will have her/his own room, with private toilet and bathroom (with shower).
  We will eat together for lunch and dinner. We are mainly vegetarian, we eat eggs and cheese, some fish from time to time.
