About Ornella P.
Spa Therapist/Yoga Instructor/Crew Member
We are a couple of French intensive travelers who are now back ‘home’ or not too far this time (Switzerland)!
Fred lived in Asia (Vietnam and China) for five years and worked as a watch designer. During his time as an expatriate he managed to visit various Asian countries. He recently converted himself into a free lance photographer and graphic designer which is leading himself towards new horizons. His farming roots makes him being very handy and proactive. ?
Personally I have been crewing in the boat industry (from barges to super yachts) for 8years as an interior luxury stewardess. Being on and off I explored the world by sea and got the chance to practice my foreign language skills (English, France, Spanish & Italian). I got recently hooked into yoga and quickly qualified myself as an instructor. I am also training and practicing as massage therapist.
We have been successfully experiencing different lifestyles such as living in a community in New Zealand, house-sitting in Australia and NZ, but also woofing and doing some help-exchange all along our travels. Knowing how to leave respectfully at peoples place we are always grateful for their hospitality. We make an excellent housekeeping team and get involved into the house works pretty naturally, as much inside than outside!
Animal sitting & caring, gardening, maintenance, cleaning, our positive past experiences allow us to feel confident in taking responsibilities over big properties and even farms.
We feel part of the people who live their dreams more than dreaming their lives. This can tell how honest we are with ourselves so are we with any one we meet along our ways. Our happy & open minded personality helps us to get along with anyone interested to share their passions with us.
We wish we could have the pleasure to count you as our next new friends!

Nous avons été très satisfait de cet échange avec Ornella et Fred. Nos animaux aussi! Ils ont été chouchouté pendant notre absence, nous avons reçu des photos et des nouvelles fréquentes. La maison était presque plus propre qu'à notre départ, mauvaises herbes du potager enlevées, draps lavés, lit refait, repas prêt pour nous, on s'est senti très bien accueillis chez nous! Nos voisins ont aussi sympathisé avec Ornella et Fred, c'était une belle rencontre pour tout le monde. Nous recommandons chaudement ces home-sitter de toute confiance! Catherine et Olivier

Brève renconttre avec Frédéric, compagnon d'Ornella qui s'est occupé de mes chats et de mes plantes. Avant mon départ nous avons passé une très belle soirée conviviale, à discuter à bâtons rompus. Tout s'est bien passé, Frédéric a même fait un peu de bricolage et mon lit était fait, j'ai trouvé cela très sympa. Les plantes et les animaux ont été bien dorlotés. Bref c'était super et je recommande ce couple.
