Description
Hello dear work hosts !
Let us introduce ourselves, we are Sidonie and Victor a french cycling couple exploring the roads of the world. We were living in Marseille and plan to travel for a year. After six months of cycling in the north of Europe, we got offered the possibility of a transatlantic crossing on a sailing boat, we now arrived in Martinique and plan to come in Dominique in December.
From our first experience cycling through the Balkans we really enjoyed meeting people through workaway and digging deeper into the culture of the countries we crossed. We had the chance to work on the construction of a house using clay / lime plastering and adobe bricks, as well as an other workplace focused on gardening and shaping the land with dry stone walls.
On this trip we designed and built a traditionally wooden framed greenhouse in Latvia and did some straw bale insulation and clay plastering in Finland. We did some plumbing, roof cleaning and carpentry in Norway as well as furniture building in Ireland.
I, Sidonie, helped my parents quite a lot on the renovation of their house for the last 3 years : building an extension of the house with straw walls, lime and sand plastering, laying parquet flooring and tiling. On the other hand, I Victor am a structural engineer and carpenter, pasionnated about woodworking and natural building in general. One of the last project we undertook together before the trip was the construction of an indoor sauna in a mountain house.
As you understood, we really enjoy working with wood and natural materials in general!
