I was warmly integrated in this kind family's daily life, developing my skills as a painter in fair & flexible hours. In my free time I enjoyed Montrejeau's wonderful market, lake, mountainhikes & meaningful conversations at the dinnertable. The apartment was luxurious & my vegan diet was kindly met w. delicious pasta, baked potatoes, lentilsoup and much more. The family was very accommodating with my anxiety around dogs, which I should have communicated beforehand. Thankfully, I ended up being able to take the dog out for a walk :))

My experience at the home was absolutely wonderful. I was warmly welcomed by Sunita and her family, and from the beginning, I truly felt like part of the family. I loved spending time with the animals and exploring the beautiful surroundings by bicycle. We also went on a hike with breathtaking views that I will never forget. The work was enjoyable and well organized, and my physical limitations were always respected. The agreed schedule was also fully respected, which made the whole experience very comfortable. I highly recommend the home without hesitation.
