Description

Hey there! I’m an epicurian from the south of France, where I grew up between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees. I’ve always loved nature and I’m passionate about the plant and animal worlds. I feel like a tiny part of this magical whole. As a horticulturist by trade, I’ve always had my hands in the soil, caring for plants. I fell in love with South America on my first trip there 7 years ago. Since then, my only dream has been to return and learn more about each country and culture, and to discover the Amazon and its wildlife. Something is calling me, and I want to know what it is.
I have a deep desire to learn to live differently, more slowly, closer to nature, to create with my hands, to reap what I sow. I’m not afraid of hard work; I love getting my hands dirty and I’m very conscientious. I’d be delighted to take part in eco-friendly building projects, gardening or working with animals, whether domestic or wild.

I have a long list of things I’d love to learn,and I can’t wait to get started. And to teach you a few French recipes! :) I’m naturally very curious, I have a good sense of humour, and I simply want a life filled with love, joy and light-heartedness.
Through Workaway, I’m looking for simple, authentic encounters with people who love nature as much as I do, and with whom I can share work, ideas, mealtimes, and moments of laughter…
I dream of one day having my own farm and living as self-sufficiently as possible.

Looking forward to meet you!
