  • Description

    I have been working in tennis for over 20 years (club and federation) and I decided to leave everything to go travel, help people and improve foreign languages
    and why not... learn to play music (I would love to know how to play the piano...).
    I wish to discover countries by making a small personal contribution to the people. In 2025, I spent 11 months travelling and "working away" in New Zealand, French Polynesia and the US, all my experiences were very rich and I became good friends with some of my hosts.
    I speak very bad English but I think I can help in the works of farming, animation, construction or French learning ?
    I like children, do-it-yourself activities, nature, animals, games and outdoor activities.
    Full of energy , smiling and an easy-going person, I would like my stay in your country be as useful for you as it will be for me.
    Cécile

    I'm Cécile's sister and this trip to Chile is the first one together though we've traveled a lot apart.
    I'm a mum of two young adults who left the house to live their own lives now.
    I've worked as a journalist-TV director for 25 years and I did travel quite a lot for business and pleasure. I started "working away" last year in Spain (busy with gardening, picking fruits, making jams, cleaning the house, talking and having fun with my host…) and I enjoyed it so much I would like to do it again in Chile. I do speak a bit of Spanish but I really need to improve…
    Cecile and I are an efficient team in a garden or in a house that need small things to be fixed. I can cook some French dishes and I specially like to do pastries, hope you'll like it !

  • More details about your skills

    In 2025, I had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people whom I helped for varying lengths of time in New Zealand, French Polynesia, and Arizona. During these experiences, I took care of gardens (weeding, planting, hedge trimming, etc.), maintained a campground, painted interior rooms as well as outdoor terraces, and babysat a 2-year-old boy.
