Free housing and various learning apprenticeships in the South of France against help!
Introduction
Bonjour, I am Cyp, an open-minded self-educated French man, well-travelled and well-educated with good life experience in various fields.
I want to turn my house into an open-minded international guest house, open to naturism, in which people could also learn lots of things such as French, English, massages, cooking, automobile mechanics, martial arts tricks, building works, car driving and trailer reversing and much more…in a nutshell: share my various skills.
So I am on the lookout for 1 to 2 persons, willing to learn any various handy works, not lazy!!! , capable to handle various physical works from building works, gardening, woodcutting etc… so if you have any issues with your nails ^^, dirty hands or sweating or what else I ignore…. spare me your request.
I am a nice, tolerant and cool guy but a hard worker so for this exchange you must be able to consider first what you are gonna learn from me before counting the hours worked. Because I will commit myself to teach you all I know as partly described above.
