Description
Hi, we are Alysia (29 years old) and Didier (28 years old), two French backpackers who want to discover the amazing world around us. We quit our jobs in France to travel a bit, discover new cultures, new people, a new lifestyle ! 🤩 Enjoy life because it has so much to give 😁
We would like to live a lot of atypical experiences and get out of our comfort zone !

We love being outside and stand most of our free time in the mountains (the French Alpes), to do our favorite sports, hiking/skiing/climbing/overnight hikes.... We will be very happy to help you with your daily tasks, children care or animals care if you have some, construction projects..... two years ago, we bought an apartment. We did the work ourselves, ever since we have knowledges in house renovation. We built the inside of our van in New-Zealand last year as well. We want to improve our English as much as we can before going back home and will be happy to share our language if you are interested in it.

Let's talk about us now, who are we?

I (Didier) am an electronics engineer, I grew up in a ranch and I'm used to animals, I have knowledge in barn constructions, electricity, welding, animal care, mechanic, cooking..... I also have 7 Nephews, I know how to have fun and deal with these little monsters :)

I (Alysia) am a kitchen designer, I always laugh and make people smile. I loved my job, helping others with their projects is important to me, it's something I want to do during that trip. I like to do manual work, I'm a fast learner and I'm not afraid to do difficult work (renovation, gardening, farm help....).
I like to cook as well and I have a secret recipe to do the best crepes :).

Update:
I’m following a personal development training to improve myself day after day. That’s why I want to spend time without Didier this time 🙂.

We are looking forward to getting to know you ✨

Many thanks to this lovely couple for helping us for a number of weeks. They are very respectful and great people to have around. They helped us with lots of jobs and were willing to spend days cutting firewood and helping around the garden. They would be great help for any jobs you have around the place.

Hi Kristin, Steve and Jessie. I was quite busy, I didn't take time to give you a feedback sorry. I spent a week with the family and true is, I had a very good time :grin:. I wish I had been able to stay longer. The mains tasks were: dog's walking (I miss you Zasha), cooking, snow shoveling..... It was both easy and fun. Kristin has lots of energy… read more

Didier stayed with us for only a week, and we would have liked him to stay longer. He has a quiet demeanor and a great sense of humor. He is intelligent, intuitive, and a cheerful helper. We'd just gotten a big dump of snow before he arrived, and his first task was to shovel a path to the camper, where he was to sleep. He did that and shoveled our… read more

Didier, we were absolutely blessed with having you at our place. The five stars are also way too little to express your talents, skills, behaviour, attitude and character. You have become a dear friend to us like a beloved son. Whatever the task, you worked single-handed, with determination, endurance and accuracy. It was amazing watching you… read more

Sabine & Clemens, I wanted to give you 20 stars, but it seems that the maximum is only 5. In 7 months of travelling in North America my bests moments were with you in Nimpo Lake. We had lots of fun horseback riding/ fishing/ playing games/ chopping wood/ chain sawing....... The 3 of us were a very good team, I wish I had been able to stay longer.… read more
