Description

Hello! I am Carla, from Grenoble (France).

I just finished my geotechnical engineering studies and now my plan is to travel a bit, Via ! My project is to go to Sicily for a month and a half (between the 31st October and the 15th December). This is a trip close to my heart because, Sicily is the land of my grandmother.

I’ve done several Workaways (one in England, one in France, two in Irland), all as wonderful as each other.

Me in few words :
I adopt, as much as possible, an ecological and healthy way of life. I like to be careful about what I eat (mostly vegetarian or vegan) and how I consume.
I’m easy-going, mainly because I looove cooking and share all my dishes (you'll see, it's not unpleasant to live with me). I’m also kind and sociable 😉
I’m sporty, and relay dynamic. I practise climbing, swimming, rowing, cycling, skiing, running, hiking and fitness. I try as well to learn acro-yoga with my sister.
I enjoy being outdoors. No ! I need to spend time outdoors every days.
I am good at organization, storage and planning.
I like to learn and I am curious. People often describe me as a motivated and hard-working girl.

I’m interest in and want to learn :
Languages, gardening and self-sufficiency, life in community, viticulture and oenology, do-it-yourself ,meditation and take care of horses.

I am open to any opportunities, the most important for me is a good feeling with the person(s), the project(s), the cultural exchange and to make as many good memories as possible.

If my profile matches you, don't hesitate to contact me!
