It's our first experience with workaway.
We are a family with 3 children, 3 boys (Raphael 13 years old, Axel and Mathis almost 11 years old twins) and 2 cats (Maïa and Wilow). We live in the city of Parmain in the northern suburbs of Paris. We are at 01h00 from Paris by train, 30Km by car. We livea big house in front of the fotet and near the means of transport.
The city of Parmain is located in the department of Val d'Oise. L'Oise passes not far from the house and allows you to make beautiful walks on foot or in canoe.
We parents, Pierre and Sabrina, love walks in the woods, cinema, reading. Raphael loves animals, rides and dreams of having a dog; we are still thinking about it. Mathias loves to draw, the arts in general and hopes to be a cartoonist. Axel is a sportsman, he loves football and plays table tennis.
Pierre is computer scientist, he does programming on the internet. Pierre is passionate about history and reading.
Me, Sabrina, I am a quality engineer and also a sophrologist. I am passionate about everything related to well-being and personal development, meditation, relexation, yoga.
We are a mixed family. Me, the mother I was born in Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. Pierre, my husband was born and raised in France.
