Description

Hello!

My name is Manon, I’m a French girl from Brittany with a deep love for animals and a strong desire to go on an adventure abroad in April 2025. My main goals are to improve my English, discover new places, and meet inspiring people along the way.

I’m 28 years old and I recently completed a PhD in Ethology, the scientific study of animal behavior. Animals have always been a big part of my life, especially dogs and horses, and I’ve made this passion my profession. I’m spontaneous, enthusiastic, and always eager to learn and experience new things.

I love working with animals, helping on farms, and living close to nature. I’m motivated, curious, and happy to help with daily tasks while sharing good moments with the people I meet. I am reliable, take my responsibilities seriously, and adapt easily to new situations.
Otherwise, I hold the BAFA, a French qualification to work with children, and I worked for 7 summers in children’s activity centers to finance my studies. This experience helped me become responsible, organized, and comfortable working with children.”

I’m really looking forward to this adventure and hope to meet open-minded, kind, and passionate people along the way!

More details about your skills

I'm Manon. I've been practicing horse riding every week for over 13 years. I hold a scientific baccalaureate and I recently completed a PhD in Ethology, specializing in animal behavior. My studies took place in Brittany, where I focused on both research and hands-on observation of animals. I also have the BAFA, which means I’m trained to work with children and organize group activities. I truly love working with animals and people, and I’m always eager to help, learn, and share my knowledge.

I'm Charlène. I grew up on a farm and have a strong background in agriculture through my studies and personal experience. I currently run a small farm with ornamental animals such as chickens, pheasants, royal cranes, and ducks. I'm used to the daily routines and responsibilities of farm life, and I love taking care of animals. Being outdoors and active is part of who I am, and I enjoy sharing my way of life with others.

I spent around ten days with Danny, Kristy, and little Billy, and it was such a wonderful experience!

From the moment I arrived, they made me feel welcome and part of the family. They live in a beautiful place, and I really enjoyed discovering the area thanks to them.

One of the highlights was definitely the food, Kristy is an amazing cook! … read more

Manon was a wonderful traveller to host and we are missing her already. She came at a time when I was going into hospital for hip surgery, so she was mostly left on her own doing jobs in the garden ( with the company of the dogs and chooks). She worked so well independently and did all tasks to a high standard and was such a great help to me while … read more

Thank you Manon! If you ever want to come back, you would be VERY welcome. What are you both doing this summer?
I'm sure I left you both some excellent feedback, but it's not appearing here. You were both an absolute delight to have in my home, and the help you both gave me was invaluable.
