📍 Currently near Adelaide in early November.
Looking for a dream place with animals 🐾 and nature 🌿 in order to accomplish the 88 days necessary for my 2nd year visa.

Description

Hello! I’m Émilie, a 33-year-old French traveller on a Working Holiday Visa in Australia (not necessarily looking for a job that fits the 88-days criteria).

I came here with one big wish: to live something meaningful, grounded, and connected with nature, with animals and with gentle humans.

In France, I am self-employed as a writer and communication coach, and I still manage a few small projects remotely (I can be totally flexible around your schedule). But my real goal now is the Workaway experience. I would love to slow down, help out locally and reconnect to what really matters: care, presence, teamwork (I'm used to working on my own, so I can easily do it that too if needed) and real life experience.

I’ve done a lot of pet-sitting, rescued injured animals (and recently started the WIRES wildlife awareness course). I’d love to contribute in farms, sanctuaries or homes where I can support a project, help and be useful, take care of animals or the land, and share good energy ✨

I’m not a professional gardener (but I have lots of plants in my flat in France! 🌿) or a masterchef either 😄 (I make pretty simple meals), but I’m always happy to help and learn along the way, feel useful and and share the best I can.

I’m caring, reliable and really looking forward to beautiful, simple human and animal connections and useful experiences!

More details about your skills

I’m not a pro at everything, but I’m curious, kind and a quick learner. Not afraid to help out where needed!

In France, I run my own small business, so I know how to work independently, but I’m just as happy teaming up with others!

-> As a freelance copywriter and digital communication consultant ✍️, I love helping meaningful projects. If you have an eco-project, a local business, or something creative you’d like to share online, I’d be glad to help! Whether it’s writing, website content, social media (it's not my specialty), or newsletters.
I believe words can make a difference, and I’d love to contribute where it matters ⌨️ ✨.

I’ve already had a few experiences volunteering in France, mainly in organic and biodynamic gardens. For example, I spent some days helping on a hop farm, taking care of the garden and learning more about sustainable living 🌱.

Also, I’ve done several pet-sittings before 🐾. I love all animals! (especially dogs 🧡)
I enjoy simple things, being close to nature and learning by doing, connecting with people and animals, and doing my best ☺️.

My English isn’t perfect but is improving every day, and I want to practice! I’m always up for a chat 💬 and new experiences!

What else ...

I’ve always dreamed of working with animals (wanted to be a vet when I was a kid! But let’s say that maths and I were never best friends 😅).
So, instead of working in a clinic, I’m now choosing to help on the ground, in a more hands-on way. Which might be even better for nature and me!

I love hiking in nature, going for walks with dogs (Labradors in my family in France 🤎), and sometimes running. But let’s be honest, I’m more into long walks with nice views than marathons!
I’m a cinema lover (and popcorn 💛), I enjoy writing, and I practice yoga and Pilates to stay balanced.
I also have a deep passion for sweet potatoes 🍠😄.
Always curious to learn, share, and enjoy the simple moments and the feeling of being alive, right here and right now! 💚
