French countryside home

Christine me recibió cálida desde primer momento, siempre atenta a mi comodidad y bienestar. Conecté con ella y el bello entorno natural, rodeada de paz. Los trabajos de huerta y carpintería fueron sencillos. Me permitió sumergirme en las actividades locales, así como Chi kung, baile tradicional, conciertos de música… además de llevarme a conocer los bonitos pueblos aledaños y sus mercados. El lugar para dormir es muy cómodo, la chimenea mantiene caliente el hogar. Solo tengo comentarios positivos de esta experiencia y ganas de volver algún día, quizás en verano para estar fuera sin frío!

¡Una primera experiencia increíble! Christine es muy amable, atenta, paciente y energética, simplemente una increíble persona que desde el primer hasta el ultimo momento me hizo sentir en casa y bienvenida. Mi estadía fue muy agradable, el trabajo es flexible y fácil de entender, las actividades en los días libres son divertidas y las caminatas demasiado tranquilas en los bonitos alrededores. Agradezco mucho su amabilidad y hospitalidad en su hermoso hogar.

Fue mi primer voluntariado y fue una experiencia simplemente maravillosa. Christine es una persona con mucha energía que te hace sentir bienvenida y se interesa por tus necesidades, siempre dispuesta a resolver dudas. Durante mi estadía nos llevó a muchos lados y eventos de los alrededores, conocimos a muchos de sus amigos y nos permitió ser parte del estilo de vida francés. En cuánto al trabajo a realizar, también fue muy gratificante, aprendizaje por todos lados. La verdad fue muy sencillo adaptarse y sin duda me encantaría volver a vivir esta experiencia. La recomiendo ampliamente :)

Estoy totalmente agradecida por haber encontrado a Christine en esta experiencia, que me haya permitido ser parte de su vida durante mi estancia, es una maravillosa mujer, bondadosa, siempre cuida de ti y procura hacerte sentir en casa, he aprendido más de lo que imagine, sin duda disfrute cada día a su lado y aprender a vivir a su estilo me hizo conectarme más conmigo misma y sobre todo estar rodeada de naturaleza, mucha paz. Infinitas gracias Christine por el tiempo compartido 💕🌿

Christine is such a kind soul and I immediately felt welcomed when I arrived. There's always something to do whether it was visiting nearby villages, going to markets, dancing, hiking or meeting one of her many friends. I recommend learning some French to get to know Christine and her friends better. She's an interesting person and we got to have a lot of great conversations. The work isn't that difficult especially if you're used to landscaping and you get a lot of free time. I was well fed and well taken care of. Her house is so cozy and I loved staying there. I hope to come back again soon!

Christine is a really nice lady. Her home is cozy; however, the bedroom door doesn't lock and there isn't a door to the bathroom but instead just a curtain. Also it can get hot in the bedroom since there is no AC. Work mainly consisted of gardening. I loved the scenery of Southern France and the places that Christine took me to. Be aware though that she might have you do extra stuff on top of your 20 hours. For example, she made me wash her car and do dishes. It was an overall good experience.

I had an incredible time at Christine's! She made me feel very welcome from the beginning! I was able to meet a lot of her friends, try new food, and see the surrounding villages and areas! If you are not used to farm/garden work it may be difficult for you but I had a blast. I would recommend to learn some French so that you can better connect with Christine as well as all the people you will get to meet! Also the accommodation was very cozy and I loved staying in her home. I 100% plan on coming back when I can.

The first week was good. She's a kind person, but in the second week we had a few miscommunications that were made larger because of our language barrier and that created a tension within the house and between us. In the second week there were also multiple occasions where the agreed upon hours, as per worldpackers, were fully exceeded and she tried to lie about the added hours. Thus my second week was not a good exchange. I thank her for having me and the meeting of her friends and neighbors was pleasant.

Je pense que la barrière de la langue n'était pas le principal obstacle, pour moi c'est surtout que nous ne partagions pas assez les mêmes valeurs et que nous manquions d'affinités, c'est ainsi; le hasard des rencontres !
Bonne vie à toi aussi

I had a great time at Christine's. The place is beautiful and peaceful. Lots of interesting villages and towns to see around. I could practice French which was my goal. I met Christine's friends, we went hiking and visited some villages together. As for the work, I didn't stay long due to some changes, so I only had a few working days which were mostly working in the garden. It was nice like a meditation but sometimes it can get a little hard and hot. I think that making intervals would be nice to make it easier and more fun.

This experience was so fun as we got to see alot of the local culture. We got to go to multiple festivals, saw some opera, went to alot of markets and more. Idk if it is a french thing but i love that there is so much happening, and we got to go to alot of it with Christine. We ended up having three days off in the two weeks we stayed there and used them to go to nearby cities which was lovely. But we were also kind of working from when we woke up to we went to bed or something like that. I would definately recomend but just be aware that worktimes can be a little unclear.
