We will appreciate handy skilled wwers in timber work, carpentry to finish our backyard cabin and build a deck. Electricity and solar skills very welcomed. 😉
Hi guys !
We are a French/Aussie couple in our mid- fifties living in a nice cottage near the Bay in Brighton (BRISBANE) QLD AUSTRALIA with front and back gardens
Open minded, we like people with can-do attitude, initiative and confidence to self manage themselves.
We are able to provide you a lot of projects and will be happy to hear yours.
Our place is not big but very well situated and able to lodge a lot of our projects in self sustainability, permaculture, veggie gardens and creative building projects, garden decoration and artistic upgrades,....
We are currently focused on building a cabin in our backyard with salvaged materials from demo, carpentry, roofing, plumbing, solar panels, electricity, water catchment for water tanks, dry loo etc.... and upgrading our garden with raised garden beds , chooks coop and many other small and large projects to make our home more comfortable and self sufficient.
Next big step will be planting fruit trees and creating community gardens in our neighborhood, utilizing public areas where we can grow food and fruit for anybody.......Time to reset guys and think collective and team building>>>> Does that ring a bell for anyone ?

We both have worked many years in corporate business and international environment. We also have been travelling extensively for both work and leisure and living abroad. We speak English, German, French, a bit of Italian, Spanish and Vietnamese. Workawayers will be in contact with other travelers and being able to be part of our local community. Sharing food, stories, experiences and being open minded help cultural exchanges in different languages.
We like to hear from you and what you can bring to the world, your skills, your projects, what future you like to contribute to our planet and society and why you think you will fit with us ?
We usually have a common dinner all together 5 days a week, we love these moments where everybody can make a feedback on the past day and prepare the next one with your ideas and the way you like to contribute to our organization.
Lots of fun here, loads of work, lots of sharing, lots of friendship and love......You will make a lot of great experiences here...
We are used to this kind of organization , Phily has been on Workaway on his own ....
Much to tell around a glass of wine together.....Projekte mit Kindern
Dieses Projekt schließt möglicherweise den Umgang mit Kindern ein. Mehr Informationen findest du in unseren Verhaltensregeln und Tipps hier.
