Description

Hello! We are Hippolyte (26) and Margot (25) a French couple who love traveling, meeting new people, and discovering different ways of living.

We spent 10 months backpacking through South, Central, and North America, where we joined several volunteering projects on farms and in families. These experiences taught us new skills, but above all the joy of sharing cultures, exchanging ideas, and creating meaningful connections.

Now that we are back in France, we can’t wait to go on a new adventure with Workaway! We love living close to nature, trying new things, and learning from locals. Above all, we are motivated, easygoing, and always happy to help.

We’re really looking forward to meeting our next hosts and creating new unforgettable memories together!
