Description

We met during our master degree, and travelled alone and together in Ireland thanks to workaways.

Marine :
I just ended my master degree in ecosystem management so before any work in this field I wanted to discover the world, different cultures, working on Spanish, maintenaing english and learn about the life in a farm and in a community.

Indeed, I have a project to create a farm or a community farm with sustainable ways of living, spiritual approaches and rescued animals. I'ld would like also to build some eco-houses like the "Kerterre" and a natural pool to restore and help the biodiversity around. I must likely to have a farm in southern France so the next summers will be warm and dry, we need some water for life :)
So I'm doing these work aways to learn from your experience in order to know if it is a project that is meant to be for me, and what are the concretes problems and solutions we can face during a farmer's life.

I'm very curious so I read a lot (mainly about spirituality, philosophy), learn a lot (currently I'm improving my Spanish skills and ornithological knowledges), and discover a lot cities and museum to know more about the history of the communities and the world. Also, I'm a photographer (mainly wildlife and landscape one). I spent 5 years of studying ecological problems, and 9 months behind a computer to analyse how to develop the hydropower in Cameroun according to the environmental and social impact assessment. But now, I need to connect with the life, the people, the nature and the adventure :) Also, I have a project to create a farm or a community farm with sustainable ways of living, spiritual touches and rescued animals. So I'm doing these work aways to learn from your experience in order to know if it is a project that is meant to be for me, and what are the concretes problems and solutions we can face during a farmer's life.

I did one month of work away in Norway with animals work (horses, chicken, sheep, pigs..) and orchard works Finally, now, it's been more than one month that I am in a farm with rescued animals and buses turned into Airbnb so I learned to manage animals and high quality houses.

Eloïse :
After my master degree in Environmental Management, I travelled in Ireland to improve my English, meet new persons, create memories and also learn about farming. I loved that experience, and I'll try my best to renew it during my holidays or working gaps, whenever I have some. I'm particularly interested in using and training my skills and also learning some new. In the future, I'd love to have a farm, animals and be able to create with my own hands what feeds me and keeps me warm. My main goal is to reach a sustainable way of life with autonomy.
Since march, I am animator to preserve the marine environment not far from Granville, in Normandy (France). I work in rainy, windy or sunny days, always outside and I love it. My job really passionates me, as I did marine biology studies in Licence.

I'm a nature lover, I enjoy outsides and physical activities, not scared from the mud or dust and often looking for my limits. I also love animals, contact with other people, meeting new persons, help and share animates me. Finally, I'm a musician (piano, ukulélé, singing sometimes), a drawer, sometimes I paint with watercolors, I cook and need to have a lot of fun!

More details about your skills

Eloïse : As a curious person, I am passionnante with arts and learning in general. I play piano since I'm 6, I also play Ukulele and sometimes I enjoy singing. Drawing helps me to concentrate, and I'm now learning to paint with watercolor. I watch a lot of movies and enjoy to discuss and analyse them. But one of my big passions is to cook, try new things and be creative.
Also, I need to move and do some sport everyday (and stretching/meditation sometimes :)). I enjoy going beyond myself and trying to find my physical limits. I live on the coast of Brittany, so I enjoy sailing or making any activity on the sea. Thanks to my studies and naturalism, I learnt many things about the marine ecosystems and this subject really animates me.
Finally, I love to speak English and would like to improve it. I'm also trying to study Spanish by myself and SLF, but today I'm just a beginner.
