Description

Hello ! My name is Clara and I love traveling and going on adventures ! The latest one is a study exchange in South Africa. I'm really looking forward to exploring new regions of this country and getting involved in local projects ! I gained some workaway experience during my gap year a few years ago and I'm really happy to get back to volunteering. I 've helped out in various projects, ranging from the guest house to wood construction to off-grid farms... So I love learning new skills, gathering with people and living close to nature ! I am an easy-going, positive person who really enjoys sports (especially when it involves the mountains or the ocean), campfires and plants. I'm looking forward to meeting you ☀️

More details about your skills

I have basic skills in gardening, DIY and construction. I'm interested in edible and medicinal plants and currently learning how to make my own natural products. I'm quite good at crafts and upcycling. I also have some work experience with children and summer camps. I am a girl scout so I can get by with building a camp, cooking on the fire and organizing games ! Being a scout also taught me a lot about mindfulness, and I would love to share that knowlegde and keep learning.

This place is wonderful to connect with nature by gardening, living in the amazing yurt and swimming daily in the river. Jessie and Carlo are generous and inspiring hosts.
Thank you very much for everything !

This Workaway was a great experience, in a beautiful place in BC, and I truly loved the work in the barn. As it was during the winter, we were mainly doing building tasks, under the supervision of Andreas (Arthur's assistant) who gave us both enough freedom and structure (and help of course) to be able to conduct the building projects for the … read more

Un commentaire un peu tardif pour dire que j'ai adoré cet échange avec Véronique qui est une personne généreuse et pédagogue (elle m'a appris à me servir des outils de construction et à couper du bois). La cabane est rustique et charmante, j'ai adoré cuisiner sur le poêle et rapporter l'eau de la source tous les matins. C'est un endroit calme et … read more

Clara est incroyable malgré son jeune âge, autant dans la cuisine que sur le chantier, motivée et dynamique en même temps que calme, agréable et respectueuse des directives. Elle comprend et apprend vite, et s'est merveilleusement adaptée à la vie dans ma cabane rudimentaire. Je lui confierais sans crainte n'importe quelle tâche et je la … read more

Michel and Anne-Sophie's place in the woods is truly amazing, and if you are looking for an immersion in nature, this is the place to go. The accomodation is comfortable with a beautiful view on the lake and a warm fire during the winter months. I had the chance to experience this place with the family present during the holidays and alone as … read more

I spent a month in Taroudant and felt really welcomed since the beginning. Nidal, Imen and Chahd are generous, made me feel at home and taught me a lot about their culture.
Teaching was a challenging but rich experience. As it was my first experience as a teacher, I didn't feel really comfortable but the students are all motivated, welcoming and … read more

I spent three weeks in this beautiful and peaceful place.
I particularly enjoyed learning more about the culture and the language with Hassan and Youcef, and living with the wonderful other volunteers that were present.
We had a lot of fun starting the mud bricks project that needs motivated people to be continued.
I recommend this stay if you … read more
