Was könntest du arbeiten?
I have worked 11 years as a nutritionist, and I am very interested in holistic health and well-being. I have a lot of energy and like to be active. I like to organize things. I work well with children and animals. I am friendly and kind. I would love to learn about gardening, as well as take in part in creative endeavours. I am looking to find like-minded people who are passionate about well-being, nature, and living life to the fullest! I speak English fluently, as well as Spanish, so I can help with these languages if someone is looking to practice.

Sabine is a wonderful host!
I stayed at Sabine's finca for 3 weeks during November 2023, during which time Sabine prepared delicious, nourishing meals for me, and took me on several excursions. She was very kind and compassionate towards me, and always made sure I was comfortable. It was lovely to have conversations on holistic health and to share… read more

Every morning,also on the weekends, Andrea started her day with a large walk with my dog Bruno.
She replanted all my vegetable garden with winterplants right away.
Also she did a lot of weeding in… read more

They have a beautiful country house in Umbria, with beautiful views of the Italian countryside.

vom Host (Family of 9 including 3 ...) für Workawayer (Andrea)

Andrea is an Angel…

She is kind, discreet, but also present whenever needed, she is hardworking, and she was so comfortable to be with that it felt as if she was part of our family from day one.

I could go on for hours, but the main thing is: anyone would be lucky hosting her, she is awesome!

Vom Workawayer (Andrea) für Host (Family of 9 including 3 ...)

I spent 3 weeks with Sophie, Agathe, and Gael, on their beautiful property in the countryside of France, during September/ October 2023. They were all very welcoming and kind.
Sophie and I developed a strong connection very quickly, and after only a few days of being there it felt as though we had know each other for much longer. We had great… read more conversations and I felt very comfortable around Sophie...she is very open and honest. Sophie invited me to participate in her weekly yoga classes, which I really enjoyed and appreciated. She also invited me along for day trips to Lisieux, Deaville, and other nearby towns, where she took me to a really nice Olympic size salt water swimming pool, the beach, and a cool reading space/ cafe. Sophie also invited me to a weekend yoga workshop in Paris, where she offered me their apartment and she went to spend the night with a friend, to make sure I was comfortable. Sophie is interested in healthy eating and eco-friendly products, so for me it was a wonderful fit, as I am really interested in these things as well. I really loved that she made a lot of her care products herself, and that she values using non-toxic products on the property. We had a lot in common so it was really nice to stay here and spend time with Sophie.

I spent less time getting to know Gael, as he works in Paris during the week so I only saw him on weekends, however the interactions I had with him were pleasant. Gael was very kind and welcoming. He showed me how to use the riding lawn mower and how to take care of the pond, in the case that there was time to do other tasks during the week, however he was very understanding if not everything got done throughout the week, as it is a big property. He expressed he gratitude for the work that I did regularly, which was nice.

Agathe is a really nice girl, and although I don't speak fluent French (yet!) and she does not speak fluent English (yet!), we were able to communicate what we needed to and enjoy some fun activities, such as paddle board and bocci ball. She likes to create mini shows/ productions, and invited me to the ones she hosted while I was there.

The work asked of me was enjoyable and satisfying. I mainly worked in the garden and outdoor spaces, removing weeds, clearing garden beds, and planting some new plants. It was what I was looking for in this work away opportunity...to be physically active and work mainly outside. A few times I also helped with Agathe, taking her to school or staying with her in the evening while Sophie taught a fitness class. I found staying with Agathe enjoyable, as she is a great person and quite the entertainer.

The space that I stayed in was very nice and clean. It is modern, yet has the original farm house charm, which I really enjoyed. I had privacy when I wanted it, and my own kitchen, if I wanted to prepare my own food. The view from the room I stayed in was so lovely; it was really nice to walk up to it everyday. And the air is so fresh :)

If you are looking for a nice, clean, welcoming work away experience in Normandy/ countryside of France I highly recommend visiting Sophie, Gael, and Agathe, as they have a beautiful property and are very kind, warm, and welcoming.
I have friends in Normandy now, and they are welcome to visit me in Canada if I end up back there one day :)
Thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness Sophie, Gael, and Agathe :)

Warm regards,
Andrea
