    Description

    First step : join our instagram by asking us - to check what is going on in the boat located in Reims, city of Champagne.

    I used to volunteer through Workaway to learn new skills and gained valuable experience for my engineering career. Now it’s my turn to host, share what I’ve learned!
    The boat stays mostly in one spot (not much sailing), and we're building it into an association to organise cultural events. — You'll have your own room private room with a double bed, the bathroom for volunteers still under construction, therefore we are sharing one at the moment.

    We provide some daily tasks but the guest can starts any project he would like by his own after he feels confortable it's easy to set up.

    We’re very flexible with schedules — no strict hours/days here. You’re free to manage your time whenever you need. That said, we do expect to see visible progress.
    If you’re here to learn and try new skills, that’s great — we understand it might take more time as you practice. If you master in a task, we trust you can handle it efficiently and fit it into less hours.

    We join in the afternoons or evenings after our full-time jobs, so that’s when we’ll work together or teach skills if you’re here to learn. We are also expecting some small helps for daily tasks, we are taking turn for cleaning, dishwasher, laundry ect...

    The main idea is to live on the boat but as the Guests/Helpers.
    It is important to provide a decent way of living no matter the state of the boat when there are tasks in the room or in the bathroom.
    We are offering the 3 meals.
    Some international event will happen in the boat.
