Description

Hi! My name is Emma and I am a 23 year old Canadian who is excited to explore Europe this year. I will be based mainly in France with a Working Holiday Visa, and am interested in learning French. In addition to living in France, I am hoping to have the opportunity to complete some workaways in other countries in Europe and explore other cultures. I am looking for an experience that pushes me outside my comfort zone, allows me to meet new people and get a taste of different communities! I am open to doing a variety of tasks; I have experience working with children, completing small maintenance tasks and gardening. I am a quick learner and would like to pick up new skills through this experience as well. I am very easy to get along with, and am a very clean and respectful houseguest. Very excited for this adventure!

What an incredible 2 weeks! Damien and Sam were extremely kind and hospitable hosts. You can tell they value the quality of your time there, and are flexible with the tasks and working hours as much as possible. The hostel is small which allows you to get to know the guests better which is fun! The area is just stunning, how lucky to wake up at … read more

I spent an amazing 3 weeks with Kathi and Gerald on their sheep farm. Such a cool opportunity to learn about cheese making and how to care for sheep. They have a wealth of knowledge and the conversation is always interesting and engaging around the kitchen table. Everyone in their family immediately welcomed me and I felt very at home and … read more

She is very easy-going, reliable, and lovely to have around, and she contributed a lot during her stay. She helped in many different areas of the house, including gardening, cleaning, kitchen work, and much … read more

I only spent 2 weeks at Gomde, but made many lasting memories! The experience can change a lot depending on what is happening, sometimes there are over 20 workawayers and sometimes there are around 5. The work can also vary, tasks I helped with included gardening, cleaning, kitchen prep and dishes. But no matter what the work was or how many … read more

I spent one week with Pierre and Laurence in July. The work I was doing was cutting Lavandin. They were very understanding of the heat, and only expected me to work in the morning or late afternoon when it was cooler. Their pool is very nice and helpful for staying cool! They were very patient with my imperfect French, and supported cultural … read more

Emma n’est restée qu’une semaine mais elle nous a beaucoup aidés.
Elle est très agréable, souriante et aime communiquer. Elle s’est très vite adaptée. C’est une jeune femme très attachante.

I spent 3 weeks with Dominique, Patrick, and their lovely dog Brume. This was my first WorkAway experience, and I could not have been luckier! Dominique and Patrick are extremely hospitable, and will look after you with the love and care of family. For my work I did gardening and general yard work such as hedge trimming and moving wood. They never … read more
