Description

Hi!
My name is Sacha, and I'd love to be a workawayer this summer! I've already been a WWOOFer last summer in Gerlany, and the one before in Canada and I loved it !

I am a 23 year old guy studying at Sciences Po Bordeaux (France) for 4 years now : political sciences, environmental law, sociology, international relations and a bunch of other courses; and for the next year I am going to finish my master in ecological transition - especially agroecologic and energetic transition. I want to learn more about farm life, hardships encountered, sufficient techniques and sustainable food production in respect with biodiversity and everyone's health.
I also enjoy being creative (writing stories and poems, photography, painting), watching movies, reading books. I also really like learning, broadening my world's vision and discovering new experiences. Thus I would love to learn how to live more sustainably with respect to the environment! I am particularly eager to broaden my knowledge regarding all local forms of life, permaculture, agroforestry and handiwork.

I am comfortable around animals, especially cats and horses (I currently have one cat and had one horse). Thus I would love working in a farm full of animals !
If you live near hiking routes this would be a plus as I love hiking :)

When I was in Canada as a WWOOFer, I went to 3 different places : I did some gardening and maintenance (weeding, watering, creating new areas for herbs, harvesting, stacking wood, planting trees, stacking hay, drying flowers, driving a tractor, using a drill, mower and trimmer, building a pyramidal strawberry garden). I also took care of the animals (horses, dogs and cats) and kids.
Last summer in Germany as a Workawayer, I went to 2 differents places : both were farms with a lot of animals I took care of, but I mostly did farm work and started building an aromatic spiral.

I have a vegetarian diet, I have no problem with eating eggs and dairy when the products are self-made/local. I am in good health, good shape and full of motivation ;)
