Description
Hi I'm Stephane (or Fanou, it's my nickname) ! I'm a curious person, I love travelling because : learning, discovering, sharing, exchanging. At the moment I'm keen especially on gardening, permacultur, handwork (I'm good at it as I already made three campervans), construction. That's why I really like the concept of Workaway. I did some in France (horse farm), in hostels (housekeeping in Taiwan and Wellington, New Zealand), Spain, Poland and Lithuania. I've also worked in different fruit picking (mango, mandarin, champagne grapes).
About me :
I studied and worked as a journalist in Paris until 25 then I caught the travel bug ❤😀 4 working holiday visas (Australia x2, New Zealand and Taiwan, also a short year in Spain). I now work as a French teacher in Vilnius where Ive been living for two years.
I love that feeling of discovering new different things, understand the world, meeting people and getting to know some. Also of pushing myself outside of my comfort zone.

Akvile, Alex and their daughter Aurora make a very nice family. It was very cute to see them playing with their cute little daughter, she is smiling and very active, very cheerful.
I have been very well welcomed and received. As they were workawayers before, I can tell they knew the expectations, for example asked me, what I want to know or see… read more

I had a great long weekend with Ruta and Gyris ! They welcomed me very well, we had nice conversations, walk around, and some small tasks to give a hand in their house and garden. The place is surrounded by two rivers by walking distance. The house is actually in the forest which is such a nice feeling. And Ruta and Gyris were very good… read more

I had the pleasure of hosting Stephane for a weekend and I must say, he was an absolutely delightful guest. He was thoughtful, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order.

Stephane's positive attitude and eagerness to help with various tasks around the house made my first workaway experience as a host a breeze.… read more

It was a pleasure to host Stephane as a volunteer, he communicated well and fit right into our family unit from the moment he arrived. Whilst he may have lacked some practical skills he made up for it with enthusiasm and a willingness to tackle any job, no matter how smelly and dirty :) (cleaning the goat pens is a test of anyone's metal)

I stayed one week only (for logistics/travels with friends reasons), it was too short, two or three would have been better.
Eddy and Gosia live in a very nice place, big house in nature (I even saw deers in the garden !). With their two very nice and cute daughters, very well raised, one of them even cooked for me once.
For tasks, I played with… read more

Definitely my favourite workaway experience. Where to start the description. First, the people : many beautiful and inspiring persons, including the hosts and other persons, workawayers, travelers.

Stephane stayed with our family for a month, and has been a great help. He communicates well, is flexible and takes initiative to help even beyond what is being asked for - and also to spend time together. He also really helped with getting the house organized, which was much needed. I can also recommend Stephane if you are looking for help with… read more

I spent one month living with the family :) Caroline was very nice, easy going, and her son Javi is a good kid, very active, he likes sports, video games and is also creative : he has his own youtube channel. It took us time, the first days, to get on well each other (with Javi), but after few days it was better and better (I mean some kids… read more

Sobre el trabajo, era cosecha de aguacates… read more

I had a good stay in July, two weeks. We did gardening, weeding, raking, digging, and on my last day making biochar.
We were well hosted in a nice wooden caban located in a garden/forest.
By asking questions to Phil you could learn a lot about permaculture, especially if you ask good ones, as he is very passionnated.
We ate Helen's food at her… read more
