Description
Hi! My name is Guilaine, you can also call me “Gigi” — that works too!
I’m a curious, open-minded person who loves traveling, discovering new cultures. Connecting with people through meaningful experiences and positive actions is important to me. I like being outdoors, in contact with the ground and I consider woofing as a fantastic opportunity to learn while helping, whether it’s gardening, farm maintenance, or other tasks related to rural life.
I care deeply about the well-being of our planet and all life being wellness, health and happiness. I have some knowledge and few experience in permaculture and a desire to learn how to work with animals. I'm also reliable, hardworking, respectful and grateful of the places and people who welcome me.
I’m always happy to help, fully committed to projects, and adaptable to new situations. Meeting new people and gaining new skills is something I look forward to. My intention is to give the best I can to contribute positively and learn a lot from various experiences!Interests
