Description
Hello!
I'm Blanche, or Bobby (easier to pronounce) :)

I'm a 27 year old friendly human from France living in Berlin, Germany since 2019. Although I work as an artist (illustration, tattoo and painting), I actually graduated in urban engineering (urban planning, building, energy etc).

I'm very curious and I always get interested in new things. I love gaining new skills and knowledge, for example I would love to learn more about construction and wood work.

I'm an enthusiastic and kind human, always down for helping around and finding something to do. I've had many workaway experiences and they always turned out very beautiful!

---------------------
Kinds of projects I'm interested in :
- Permaculture
- Artistic projects
- Horse care & training
- Eco-construction
- Off-grid communities
----------------------
My hobbies :
- arts (painting, ceramics)
- horseback rides
- boxe
- hiking
- yoga

Have a beautiful day! :)

Sara let me stay for only a week which was very sweet of her because I couldn’t stay longer but really wanted to visit. It wasn’t enough time to really anticipate my tasks and take a lot of initiative, but enough to have a nice connection and conversations, fun with the kids and animals, and to enjoy the nature. I appreciated the trust and the… read more

She painted the floor and helped in the garden, we had some peaceful trips with our horses.

Blanche contacted me for a last minute 3 day stay to which I agreed. And I was not disappointed. She is easygoing and kind, hardworking and creative. She helped to get us started on the greenhouse building of roof trusses with many angles to cut. And bonus, she was home when I was away for a few hours when our dog decided to give birth, so it was… read more

Benoit had the kindness to let me come for 3 days and it was totally worth it :) The place is magical, beautiful house and garden, and fair amount of work. I had fun doing some wood work to build a greenhouse, I also helped around in the garden a bit. Benoit and his family are very warm-hearted people! Thank you so much for having me!

I stayed only 3 days at Emiliano's place but they were 3 beautiful days! This place is amazing: astonishing landscapes, fruit trees, flowers and hummingbirds in the garden, nice hut as accomodation. Despite the short time I spent there, Emiliano brought me to a waterfall nearby and to the pretty village of Maringá (between the states of Rio de… read more

I stayed almost 3 weeks , and although I came at a time when Tita and Miel were not around very often, I got to meet them and they are very generous and inspiring women. The resort is quiet in the week and full of friendly guests in the weekend so there is not much to do in the week but the place is just full of good vibes.

If I could leave 10 stars i would, this was from far my best Workaway experience.
I was planning on staying a month but I just couldn't leave these two places. I stayed a month on the oyster farm and a month in Pulau Bidan.
On the farm, you get to know the Malay culture, learn Bahasa, try Maksu's delicious food, play and talk with the kids and… read more

I loved my stay in Wichai and Naiyana's jungle. They are adorable people and have a very ambitious and beautiful project which is growing very well. The work taught me a lot of things like how to build a bathroom, and the free time hours were spent chilling, bike riding to the market, playing volleyball... in the weekends they brought us to… read more

If you need clear schedules and insructions, I don't think it's the right place for you. Otherwise, you'll have a great time there in Odeceixe. Diogo is a really nice person, we had a lot of fun going to festivals and parties, surfing and helping at his mother's restaurant... Very good experience :)

I spent 3 amazing weeks in Elke’s farm; it was my first workaway experience and I’ll never forget it. Elke is a positive, generous woman and also her family and friends are very friendly.
There is not much work and working with the horses is very pleasant even if most of the job is about cleaning stables. You’ll have the opportunity to try line… read more
