Program Details

The program:
You are independant! You can wake up when you want, work when you want. I lend you normal bicycles to go arround for activities or Ebikes if I have confidence about you. The first village is at 2.5km, others are 10 and 12km. If you come during my low activity, I can share time with you, meals, activities and else.

The work:
Your time table is 4h/day 5 days a week. You can manage when you want to start to work. Mostly you work alone and have to be productive!

Tasks I will ask you to do mostly:
-Clean the land
-Cut trees
-Cut wood for fire places
-Sometimes help me for lot of kind of stuff as working on speakers, build stuffs, fix cars...
But to help me you need a minimum of skills, if you don't I do it alone, that is quicker.

About you:
You have to be ready to do normal life tasks after work as clean your bathroom, your house, your kitchen and cook for you or for the group.

About your stay:
I propose 3 kinds of accommodations for your nights:
- One tiny wooden house (5m2) with one single bed, and sofa and a fan
- A closed tree hut (not for claustrophobic person) with a single bed and a terrace
- Tents with normal single bed and view when we are more than 4 total.

There is a shared outdoor bathroom for volunteers only, with eco toilets and shower with hot water
