Beschreibung
Hello,

For the past 10 years, I have been volunteering in Europe, India, and Thailand.

I am active, nature-loving, and vegetarian, with many years of yoga practice and a deep interest in meditation, mindfulness, and Buddhism. I enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone, meeting inspiring people, and connecting with what is essential in life.

I am a 65-year-old French Canadian living in Italy for 30 years, looking to volunteer in Emilia-Romagna in a peaceful, fresh place in contact with nature during July, when it’s too hot for me in Sardinia.

I am ready to help with gardening, housework, and anything practical, and I bring good computer skills and life experience to share. For me, work is a way to be fully present.

I prefer to stay at least two weeks, so I can contribute meaningfully and fully appreciate the environment.

Was könntest du arbeiten?
Language practice:
My first language is French since I was born and grew up in Quebec (Canada). After 30 years in Italy, I can speak very good Italian too. I am fluent in English and I know a little bit of Spanish.

Teaching:
I always liked to teach, it’s something that comes natural to me. For 5 years I volunteered in my community in Italy giving computer lessons to elderly. I can also help children with their homework.

Gardening:
Here in Sardinia, we’ve been growing our own organic fruits and vegetables for many years, I practice crop rotation and synergistic garden and I am learning permaculture.

Elderly Companion:
I thing elderly can be a great example of wisdom and awakening. They more than everybody deserve to be loved, respected and listened too. I took care of elderly in the past.

Cooking / shopping:
I can cook delicious nutrient vegetarian and vegan meals I believe that If food is prepared with love and care it’s much more better and nutritious. I helped in the kitchen to cook for 60 persons at my last workaway host in Indian in an alternative forest school .

General Maintenance
My companion is a carpenter and I have been working and helping him for many years with all kind of task; sanding, painting, etc. I am a very good carpenter helper.

Sylvie, is an excellent workaway person , for her work is of very good level, and she has 'a little problem' with expectations ,and in my eyes, an immens big problem with the communication about this. She knows how to clean, and work in my garden as the best. If I was alone on the big farm with her, it turned out as being in heaven. With another… read more
