Travel information

I am currently

Description

Friendly, warm and relaxed individual who loves being outside and exploring and frolicking in nature. I enjoy the company of adults and playing with children and animals.

I'm currently living in France, on the road traveling on foot towards Italy with my trailer (currently mid France, Coreze department, hoping to head south to cevennes national park and onto to Ardeche, and italy !)).

Im interested in meeting people along the way, continuing to improve and practice french and help out on interesting projects. some things that I'm interested in( but in no means limited too!) building cobb/ clay/mud houses etc, other building and construction in general, organic/ regenerative farming, working with horses, basket weaving mosiac... and more!


I value a simple lifestyle and am happiest when I can have a mix of both social and solitary, am eating eating fresh foods and where I can be in nature and near water ( I love being able to bathe and swim in either the ocean or a river). Id love to visit workaways that have access to trails be it day walks or otherwise, I love to walk every day.

I'm comfortable working independently or with others and consider myself to have good initiative for tasks.

I'm interesting in most kinds of projects but am not looking to be a sole carer of someones kids- I'm so happy to help out/play/share and to be around kids, I really enjoy their company, and love to play,but don't want to be a sole carer for the whole time of my stay, but happy with a mix.
