Description
Hi everybody !

My name is Clémence, I'm french and I'm 29 years old.

Five years ago, I finished my law studies, specialised in the field of Human rights. I did my final year internship in Argentina after which I started to travel and I haven't stopped since then. Chile, New Zealand, Norway, Costa Rica, Japan, Portugal, Ireland are some of the countries where I was lucky to spend some time.

Before to start my professional life, it's important for me to take the time to travel and the freedom I currently have doesn't have any price. I travel mostly volunteering which is for me the way which suits me the most because it allows me to meet locals and also other travellers, share their life experiences, have new visions on the world, discover other cultures and practicing a language different of mine. I also enjoy working for someone who needs it, learn and develop new habilities but also enter in a routine for a while. All of this makes a lot of sense to me.

Through the volunteerings, I realised that live and work in nature and live in a community is what makes me the most happy at the moment. Be in a group is important to me. I lived in a community in Chili during 8 months where we were between 10 and 25 volunteers from all around the world and it was so far the best experience I had ! But I also know and enjoy being by myslef for example, reading, writing postcards, sewing or doing handcraft stuff. I always have "plenty of little projects" that keep me busy.

Nature and animals have a very important space in my heart. I like to live simply. Go for hikes, drinking a tea in front of a fire, be surrounding by dogs and share a meal are a source of happiness. I want to learn more about how to live in a sustainable and ecological way.

What I prefer and I'm looking for are outdoors jobs, in farms or vegetable garden. I'm not afraid to get dirty hands and I love physical jobs outside because it brings me well-being and a balance. Thanks to this trip, I began during my volunteerings to work in gardens, I love it and that's why I would love to keep learning about permaculture. I'm also very interested in practicing yoga and meditation (I'm a very beginner).

I need to precise that I'm not a good cooker at all but I'm more than happy to help chopping and doing the dishes ! :)

I speak fluently English and Spanish.

I look forward to see you and share much more with you !

Hola todos !

Me llamo Clémence, soy francesa y tengo 29 anos.

Hace cinco anos, terminé mis estudios de abogacía, especializada en Derechos Humanos. Hicé mi pasantia de fin de estudios en Argentina, despues de eso empecé a viajar y no parré desde. Chile, Nueva Zelanda, Norwega, Costa Rica, Japon, Portugal or Irlanda son algunos de los paises donde tuvé la oportunidad de pasar tiempo.

Antes de empezar a trabajar, es importante para mi de aprovechar de mi tiempo viajando porque la libertad que tengo ahora no tiene precio. Viajo principalmente haciendo voluntariados y es la forma que me conviene lo mas porque me permite encontrar a locales y también a otras personas viajando, compartir sus experiencias de vida, tener nuevas perspectivas sobre el mundo, descubrir otras culturas y hablar un idioma diferente de la mía. También, me gusta el hecho de trabajar para alguien que lo necesita, aprender y desarrollar nuevas habilidades y entrar en una rutina durante un momento. Todo eso tiene mucho sentido para mi.

Me encanta vivir en communidad y estar en un grupo, es importante para mi. Vivi en una communidad en Chile durante 8 meses donde me quedé con otros voluntarios de muchi paises diferentes, entre 10 y 25 dependiendo del momento del ano y estuvo sin duda la mejor experiencia que vivi ! Pero sé tambien y aprovecho tener momentos sola por ejamplo escribiendo postales, cociendo or haciendo cosas creativas. Siempre tengo muchos "pequenos proyectos" que me mantenen occupada.

La naturaleza y los animales tienen un espacio muy importante para mi. Me gusta vivir de manera simple. Hacer senderismo, tomar un té en frente del fuego, estar rodeada por perros o compartir una comida es una fuente de alegria. Quiero seguir aprendiendo sobre la manera de vivir de manera sostenible y ecologica.

Lo que prefiero y que busco sobre todo son los trabajos afuera, en el campo o en huertas. No tengo miedo de tener las manos sucias y me gusta el trabajo fisico afuera porque me da bienestar y un equilibrio. Empecé durante mis voluntariados a trabajar en huertas, lo aprovecho un monton y quiero seguir aprendiendo sobre permacultura. Esoty también muy interesada en practicar yoga y meditacion (pero estoy solamente una principiante).

Quiero precisar que no sé cocinar pero estoy feliz ayudar cortar en trozos y lavar los platos ! :)

Tengo un inglés y un espanol fluido.

Tengo mucho ganas de charlar y compartir con ustedes !

During the past five years, I did many workaways but Eva's place is very special to me, it became way more than a volunteering and I’m so GRATEFUL about it.

I came a first time for a month, meeting Eva and experiencing Engeløya impacted me so much that I came back two years after, where instead of staying a month as it was planned, I ended up… read more staying for two and a half months !

If you are a nature, animal and outdoor lover, concerned and willing to learn about how to live sustainably and growing your own food, want to explore your creativity and if you enjoy sharing a quality time having nice conversations around the table, eating delicious, organic and local food, then, you will definitely fall in love with this little corner of paradise !

Eva is a true kind, generous, caring, thoughtful, warm, welcoming, funny, patient, spontaneous, knowledgeable, interesting, inclusive and inspiring woman ! She really enjoys meeting and hosting people. She’ll make sure you feel comfortable and happy at her place, that you make the most of it and she will give you all the keys she has to help you with everything she can. Relating to the work, she’ll always try to find out what you like and what you are good at to give you something that could fit you, according, of course, to what needs to be done on the property. The tasks are very variated : from gardening, preserving food, painting, organising to repairing…

I learnt so much thanks to her and I enjoyed every moments we shared together: the morning coffees, the late and chatty knitting night club with a cup of tea (my favourite), the boat trips to collect delicious mushrooms and berries to then make lots of jam and juice, the fires and snacks during the walks, the saunas, the gelly printing and time spent in the art studio… Well, you understood, this is not the place where you will get bored ! The two times I came, I had really nice connections with the other volunteers and if you stay long enough, you will be lucky to experience the community life of Engeløya which is a true gift !

The animals also bring so much life, joy and love to the house and make the place even harder to leave. You won’t be able to resist to the cutest dog Leyla, who will for sure steal your heart, either Silky, Knøtta and Tussi, very sweet, calm and unique cats ! You will also enjoy the happy chickens and the coolest rooster hanging around in the garden.

The nature on the island is stunning and it’s priceless to go hiking or biking around it ! You are surrounded by the sea and the mountains at Eva’s place and you can even enjoy this view from the bathroom ! The house itself is unique, it’s a cosy and warm cocoon where you feel good right away and where almost every object has a story.

The food and the kitchen are also a central aspect of the place which creates very nice moments and brings people together. We eat seasonal products and there is a real quality in the ingredients which are used for cooking. This is a good place to learn how to cook according to what grows in the garden. The meals are truly incredibly tasty and collectively prepared with love.

I have a lot more to say but I’m afraid to be already be too long… The only difficult thing in Engeløya is that we totally lose the notion of time and it goes way too fast… This is a place to disconnect from the outside world to reconnect with yourslef and nature, where every season has its specificity and gives a different tone.

I'm not exagerating saying that staying with you at your place are life experiences for me. I miss everything from Engeløya. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything dear Eva, this is not a goodbye but a see you soon !

Lots of love

Clemence was such a joy to have in the household! A true community spirit. So easy to get along with, so caring and conscientious for everybody's needs and for the communal space, and the animals loved her! Especially the cat Tussi, who was looking for her for days after she had left. Clemence puts in the best of her energy into any job, being it… read more

We are very grateful to Clémence for helping us during the winter season. Working with selddogs is always a challenge, but Clémence had no problem to find contact with dogs and learn to take care of them. She is responsible and can do well on her own.

Clémence is very helpful and good-natured, hardworking and purposeful. If she can stay focused,… read more

It was my first workaway in Juan's place and I couldn't expected to be better ! I spent more than 3 weeks there and I really enjoyed every single moment ! It was actually hard to leave. Juan is a great person, so warmful, friendly, generous, with a lot of energy and so funny ! We never get bored with him ! He cares a lot about his workawayers and… read more
