Description
English - Hello ! I'm Michelle, I live in France and I'm passionate about travel, languages and cultures. I have a degree in languages and tourism and I mainly worked in the travel and tourism industry. I'm particularly interested in sustainable tourism.
I had my first workaway experience in France last year and I absolutely loved it, so I want to travel more this way in 2024 ! From February until August, I'm going to travel through Spain and Canary Islands, and I would love to give a hand as muchas I can on my way. I love the idea of meeting other people and sharing a part of their lives, discovering new things and ways of living. I like also to get my hands dirty ! I'm hardworking and I'm always implicated 100% in everything I do :)

More details about your skills
English - I studied languages and tourism, so I'm fluent in English and Spanish. In 2022, I worked during 8 months in an eco-hostel. My work was really versatile and I developed different skills (management, communication on website and social media, help in the kitchen, cleaning tasks...). I'm not very experienced in building and gardening tasks yet, but I'm eager to learn if i have the opportunity !

What else ...
In my free time, I love dancing (especially Salsa and Bachata, even though I'm a beginner), playing and listening to music, travelling, outdoor activites, spending time in nature... I also did horse-riding during 7 years when I was yonger and I still really love horses, and animals in general. I also really enjoy playing board games and reading.

After two weeks there, it’s my turn to share my experience and to make you want to discover this little paradise. It’s a special place, not easy to describe. Time there passes differently. I stayed at the house for two weeks and I have this strange feeling that I stayed too little, but at the same time that I experienced a lot of things. This… read more place is a mix of intensity and serenity. Intensity because we meet a lot of new people, we take part in different projects and activities, we feel various emotions ; serenity because we find there (and in Cullera in general) a sense of « sweet life » that is hard to find nowadays.

It’s not evident to describe the missions that you will do there because it’s based on proactive help and it also changes according to time and to the people that animate this community. The house doesn’t stop with its walls, it expends beyond. More than a physical space, it’s a place that attracts warm people, who also have projects in which you could take part too. To give you an idea, during my stay, I had the occasion to take part in practical aspects of common life (cleaning, cooking…), we collected unsold products in a bakery, I could pick up trash on the beach, I took part in some construction tasks in a house of the neighborhood… Of course, there is also all these little moments shared around good meals, games, conversations, or even swims in the cold waters of the sea.

I would just add also that if you are an introvert or can sometimes get overwhelmed and need a little time and space for yourself, just know that it’s not a problem, from my experience at least. Everyone here is kind and respects each other’s needs and space. When you travel, it’s hard sometimes to connect with people that you meet briefly and it’s often frustrating, but even if we don’t always have the oppotunity to have deep talks, I think that you can still feel the kindness and sincerity of people that comes here, simply because this place attracts this kind of persons. I didn’t have the chance to meet Allan in person, but I don’t doubt that to create a house like this, he surely embodies all of that as well.

If you are still hesitating, this message is the sign that you should give it a try ! You will certainly learn something about yourself and others. Thank you Allan for this opportunity and see you soon, I hope :)

It’s time for me to write this review and give you a glimpse of my experience in Le Petit Vignault but, to be honest, I’m not sure where to start first. It is hard to sum up in a few lines this month that I spent in this amazing place. I came here with only one aim, which was to live a nice experience and to spend some time in nature. After a… read more
