Description
I studied LEA (languages economics and business) for 3 years in France. Then I worked a job in communication and services for a year during Covid because my plans were delayed. Now is time to accomplish my dream !

I've been travelling around Europe for almost 3 years ans I'm planning on continuing like this. However, I don't want to do only sight seeing. I want this experience to be unique and that is why I want to meet new people and learn new skills.

I have a sister and a little brother. For the last 3 years I shared flats and houses with 3 to 10 other people ( age 17 to 35). So I am used to cohabiting and what it means to share a space.

I love to cook and bake for a lot of people. As a matter of fact, I love to learn new recipes.

I like board games. I like bird watching.
I would like to learn about photography too (using Canon EOS250D).

I love animals, especially cats. What about you, are you more of a cat or a dog person ? ;)
See you soon !

The last couple of weeks at Liza's in Normandy were a much needed break, away from the buzz of travelling for me.
This place has a lot to offer, and the garden kept me busy. Weeding, clearing brambles, mulching, ... I never got bored and I learned a lot on this wild permaculture land, I loved it! I was able to learn more about edible wild plants… read more

Flo came to stay for a couple of weeks and was a wonderful workaway volunteer. She was a great cook and was happy to experiment with vegan food. She made some vegan cheese and showed independence and creativity when using many of the ingredients available from the land here. She worked really hard in the garden; she has a good knowledge of… read more

I stayed for a month here and it was a great experience. I liked Ine and Dirk's philosophy of connection with the land, local consumption and sustainable living.

I stayed for the month of November and I really liked the place. It is a very peaceful and calming place, great for resting and creating. I enjoyed a lot the flexibility, being able to choose when I wanted to do the work. If you go there during autumn/winter warm and waterproof clothes and shoes are essential. The animals are soooo sweet and… read more

I stayed here for about a month and I had a wonderful time! It was a much needed opportunity for me to recenter and reflect after a very busy summer.

I was working specifically with Mads and Freja on their own house projects. They are extremely welcoming people and I learned a lot with them. I stayed in their very cute yurt with a lot of privacy… read more

We had Flo as a workwayer for 5 weeks and really enjoyed her company and help. She is very skilled at woodwork, using power tools, and now also working with clay!
It was a joy to have a helper who is so quick to understand tasks and did a great job fulfilling them.
She is very curious and willing to learn and her joy of working and learning new… read more

I stayed at Nynne and Tobias' place the whole month of August and it was an amazing time there !

I was working another job at the same time and we agreed on a "light" version of workaway. It was a perfect fit, allowing me to work on the workaway tasks when I was off my job.

The old farm is a beautiful and calming place but so lively with the… read more

I was so happy to have Flo stay on the farm. She is very kind, hard working and good company. I learned many things from her - like making sour dough bread and ginger and rhubarb jam.My sour dough called Michel is still alive and well after nearly three weeks :) I feed them every two days just as Flo told me.
Flo also helped the other workaway… read more

It was a short 2-week stay at the Mikrogarden for me but I had a great time!
The adventure forest garden project is amazing! I can't wait to come back in a few years and see how the trees have grown.

I spent around a month at the very accurately named "crazy house". Whilst this environment can be a bit chaotic some days, you'll meet people with a very big heart, and a lot to teach.

Blanco, Honey and Ziege are good hosts and they gave me the opportunity to stay longer when things didn't go according to plan for me.

I spent one of the best summers of my life in Bornholm. I stayed three months at the farm and enjoyed every minute of it!

Flo stayed with us for approximately a month.
It was a pleasure having her around the house as she is hardworking, an excellent cook and overall nice person.
Her gardening skills and thorough work make her a great workawayer but her positive attitude and personality are what we miss the most about her.
