We are a family of 4 : Jacques (57), Lucie (55), and our daughters Marion (18) and Aliyèt (14). We live in France, near Tours (Loire valley). We love to travel and meet people outside of turistics ways. We feel concerned by the protection of the environment and try to reduce our environmental footprint.
In July and August 2023, we travelled in south east Asia Thaïland, Cambodia and Lao, and worked twice with Workaway hosts : once in a farm in Thaïland, and once in rice fields and teaching English in Lao.
In August 2024, we travelled in Greece, and also worked twice with Workaway hosts : we cleared brush and paths in a mountain village, then helped with maintenance and organizing a village festival in a monastery
