The Experience

Welcome to Siochain—our peaceful rural home in southwest France, named after the Irish Gaelic word for peace. Set on a beautiful property with a few acres of land, we're looking for a kind and easy-going volunteer to help with light household and gardening tasks while enjoying a relaxed cultural exchange. I'm a retired military doctor and full-time carer for my husband, who has advanced dementia. Your role is not to provide care.

I had such a wonderful stay with Victoria ! She was incredibly welcoming and made me feel at home from the very beginning. She has a beautiful, lovely home, and I felt comfortable throughout my entire stay. My room had everything I needed, and she even provided snacks and drinks for me. She was always thoughtful and made sure I had everything I needed, which I really appreciated.

I was the first WorldPackers here and I found the entire experience so lovely, something I will cherish. It was so nice getting to know Victoria and her baby, Aolfie. The work was fun for me. I had lots of down time…. I spent many nights in the jacuzzi. Victoria is an amazing host. extremely hospitable, I even had an AC in my room. She cooks the best meals, and always made sure I was comfortable/ needed everything I needed. The sweetest host,really.
