Description

Hello!

We're Mel (37) and Andrew (39), an Australian couple based in France, together for 17 years.

This is round two with Workaway for us, we first dipped our toes into Workaway back in 2016/17 and loved every bit of it, the people, the unexpected adventures, and the chance to properly get to know a place rather than just pass through it. Having recently relocated to France, we're keen to dive back in, both to meet people and to keep learning about our new home through the people who know it best.

Andrew is a Software Developer (previously a mechanic of 14 years) and Mel is a Graphic Designer with a soft spot for photography and all things creative. We're easygoing, enjoy a laugh, and are happy pitching in wherever we're needed. Together, we renovated our own home, so we're very comfortable getting stuck into practical jobs, leaky taps, lawn mowing, general upkeep, you name it. If it needs fixing, tending, or tidying, we're on it. Beyond the practical stuff, we're also happy to help with cooking, gardening, sewing, or general creative projects.
