Description
Hey, I am Emilie, a 22 years old french girl who want to travel around the world and discover new cultures.

I studied in Japan for a year and worked a bit in a farm in exchange of a bed and some conversation. I found that it was such a nice way to discover a country and just meet nice people! So here I am, ready to work away ~

I had a few experiences in planting, renovating, taking care of animals (starting from the hens, sheep and goats going around in my parent's garden), especially during my trips and previous workaways. I met various people and enjoyed fun experiences in different countries, and I definitely loved it!

I am studying law and aspire to become a magistrate. But along the way, I discovered the fascinating world of languages and I am currently trying to learn as much as I can. I hope I'll be able to use them during my trips! And of course discover the culture that goes along.

I also love food and cooking, beer, my dog, hiking, reading, rock, sunsets... and learning new things and skills!

Nice to meet you '\(^O^)/'

More details about my language interests
I love languages so I am interested in whichever you want to share.My mother tongue is French and I am learning English and Spanish in school since a couple of years. I also learned a good chunk of Japanese by myself (although I tend to get a little rusty!), a little bit of mandarin chinese, and started standard Arabic this year.I am especially interested in non-national/regional tongues like Cantonese because it is harder to practice with books! I also want to take a look at fictional tongues like Esperanto as I love the idea behind them!

More details about your skills
I had two experiences akin to workaway in Japan. I helped milking cows and taking care of farm animals but also planting (rice, potatoes,...).
I also did two workaways: one in France, helping making the vegetable garden and bulding anew the roof of an old house, the other in Spain, also landing an hand in little fix-it tasks.

My parents have a big garden with animals too so I also helped them here and there. I know basic stuff about renovation like painting or sanding furnitures as we had to work on our house when we bought it.

In a different field, I created and ran an association with friends in order to promote fun and easy ways to insert a responsible behavior in our everyday life. I met different people and learned a lot, both in terms of ecology and project management/animation.

I also love everything regarding languages and can try to teach some, especially my mother tongue, french.

Despite her shyness, Emilie is a little volcano. Together with the other workawayer she formed a powerful team; it was like having 4 people instead of two. She is curious and it was a pleasure answer to her questions.
I wish her a very good luck for her new job and if you will pass again nearby, please stop by us :-)

I spent two wonderful weeks with Tiziana, Roberto, and the whole family! I was very glad to participate to the set up of the Straw Fest's concerts and even though the weather played against us, the events that took place were awesome to see. Regarding the work at the farm, I learned how to use a few tools thanks to Roberto. But what makes the farm… read more

(Join our family and learn ...)

With my friend Leïla, we spent two nice weeks with all the family in june.
We learned a lot in different ways! Erwan explained to us how to use tools and work on the carpentry while always having little anecdotes to share. The family leads different projects with a sustainable goal and we were able to learn with them what was working or not. It… read more

(Assisting in a co-housing and ...)

I had a wonderful stay with Al and Griselda! The work was mostly about preparing the garden to be converted into a vegetable one and cleaning/treating the beams of the first floor. Featuring a few surprises as the house is old and keep some objects from the past (did you know that rhum solidify when it grows very old? I didn't !). There is still a… read more

Emilie is a very good worker and good company helping in fixing stuff. She's tenacious, open to learn and to do different kind of tasks. Some of them were new and we were to face together :) Also we were talking about her way of learning languages and it was very enriching. We would not hesitate to have her with us again :)
