Description
Hi there! ¡Hola! Oi!
We are Cédric and Julie, a French couple in our thirties, currently taking a sabbatical year in South America. Having stepped away from our usual lives and scientific careers, we’re eager to engage in meaningful environmental and social projects.
This journey offers us a chance to connect with people, explore different ways of life, and give back through volunteering. We are particularly excited about discovering new types of work, experiencing diverse community dynamics, and learning from different cultures.
Cédric has previously been involved in eco-volunteering projects in Marseille, while Julie regularly volunteers with the Red Cross. Over the past few years, we’ve gained hands-on experience with various DIY projects at home, making us skilled in typical handwork, which we hope will be useful in the projects we join.
We’re motivated, open-minded, and curious. We love working with our hands, learning new skills, and contributing where we can, all while sharing wonderful moments with others.
We’re looking forward to meeting you and sharing experiences together!

Somos Cédric y Julie, una pareja francesa en nuestros treinta, actualmente tomando un año sabático en Sudamérica. Después de alejarnos de nuestras vidas habituales y carreras científicas, estamos ansiosos por involucrarnos en proyectos ambientales y sociales significativos.
Este viaje nos ofrece la oportunidad de conectar con personas, explorar diferentes formas de vida y retribuir a través del voluntariado. Estamos especialmente emocionados de descubrir nuevos tipos de trabajo, experimentar diversas dinámicas comunitarias y aprender de diferentes culturas.
Cédric ha participado en proyectos de eco-voluntariado en Marsella, mientras que Julie es voluntaria regularmente con la Cruz Roja. En los últimos años, hemos adquirido experiencia práctica en varios proyectos de bricolaje en casa, lo que nos ha permitido desarrollar habilidades en trabajos manuales, las cuales esperamos sean útiles en los proyectos en los que participemos.
Somos motivados, de mente abierta y curiosos. Nos encanta trabajar con nuestras manos, aprender nuevas habilidades y contribuir donde podamos ser útiles, todo mientras compartimos momentos maravillosos con los demás.
¡Esperamos conocerte y compartir experiencias juntos!

During 2 weeks, we could take part in very various activities of the association : cleaning beaches, sorting/cleaning the trash, managing compost, improving the camp... We even learn how to do a bamboo fence, using a machete to cut it.
The work here was very rich, and we are glad to feel we could… read more
