Description

Kia Ora!

I am on a gap year from my career in law to travel through France! I want to see all parts of the country and learn more of the French language.

I love the outdoors, cultural experiences and am always wanting to learn new skills and ways of life.

I am pretty easy-going and like to try new things. My usual hobbies are road/trail running, tennis, skiing, and hiking. I also have experience with domestic pets, horses and gardening/horticulture.

I hope that through WorkAway I will be able to learn about the local way of life and facilitate a cultural exchange for people to learn more about New Zealand

I spent a wonderful two weeks with Alex, Camille and little Gael in their home south of Quimper. I immensely enjoyed my time in a very welcoming and fun household. It felt natural to fit into the family dynamic, especially with Gael, who did not find my lack of French to be a barrier for playing together. He is a very cool kid and I don’t think I … read more

This was my first WorkAway experience and I was lucky to have Isabelle, Geoffroy and Emilien to host me in their lovely home in Plessé. They were very welcoming, kind and engaging, and I had a great two weeks at their little farm. They made sure that I had everything I needed and were very hospitable.

My main tasks were to facilitate a language … read more
