Description

We love exchanging with people from other cultures, learning new languages and working on meaningful projects. Volunteering seems to be exactly what we most enjoy doing: helping out in a foreign environment while learning tons of new things!
I was an au pair for three different families when I was young and loved the experience. I'm still in touch with them.

More details about my language interests
Catherine and Marc have taught English and French in France and the USA. Catherine used to speak decent Spanish and Italian. Unfortunately she has forgotten a lot and is really looking for an opportunity to brush them up. She speaks a little German which needs a lot of help! She would also be delighted to learn the basics of any language.

More details about your skills

Marc and I like to do everything by ourselves. The two of us have entirely designed and built our wooden house and made the furniture.

Marc can do anything. For instance, he works on cars, gives English classes, takes and edits videos, cuts hair, sews, makes jam, welds, makes stained-glass windows and can use a mini-excavator.

I am a French translator and interpreter and I have taught French and English.
I have experience with children. Marc and I have three who are now young adults, I was an au pair in England and the US, a gymnastics coach and I'm currently a learning support assistant. I like creative projects and home decoration.

We love animals and would be very happy to work with them.

I love dancing, especially modern jazz .

We both like reading, watching movies, attending performing arts festivals, biking, hiking and travelling to meet new people and discover different cultures.
