Description
I'm starting a Working Holiday Visa in Argentina, which will be my first trip to South America!
I love taking my time to travel since I lived in Finland for almost a year some time ago. I did some voluntary work with the European Corps Service. I shared Finnish life and felt part of a new community. By joining the workaway community, I'm looking for the same kind of feeling. Sharing the time and life of the local population is part of my new life as a traveler, it's a way of understanding what life is like over there. I'm originally from the French countryside, but I've lived in Paris for years so the word adaptability may define me a little. I'm a dynamic girl who loves adventure and movement. I'd be delighted to join you in your project or just have a chat. see you soon :-)

More details about your skills
I'm a dressmaker and I studied fashion. I love creating and repairing objects. For several years I have worked with many companies as for the collection or other needs before production.
Since 2019, I've been discovering evenementiel sales, i.e. opening a stand in front of venues before a concert or other event, selling merchandise. Managing the stock and the team was part of my job. I followed French and international bands on tour in France.
I wanted to try seasonal work during the winter and worked at the ClubMed hotel as a linen maid. It was great and intense, and I'd love to do it again, but maybe during the summer!
I'm the kind of person who's versatile and handy. I love fixing things around the house and find it very useful. It's really satisfying to feel useful and to see that what you've done is being used for something and that people are happy with it.

I only stayed a week at the hostel. Thanks Rodri and all your team for the good party. I didn't feel up to staying longer. The staff was changing, but the energy was really good. If you want to party every other day, this is the best place, but don't expect to have some rest. You'll get a room for volunteers but with a huge noisy fan and in a kind… read more

My experience with Flor was perfect, I really liked it. I felt really useful in the hostel and part of the team. I spent 3 weeks there and felt at home.
The main task was to look after the kitchen during breakfast or in the evening and to do a bit of cleaning, but really nothing.
In my case, I was able to use my other skill, sewing, because Flor… read more

I had a great time with Yamil and Laura and their little baby :-). I felt welcome and useful, and was able to share a lot of time with them and their family. It was a relaxing week for me, even though I had a bit of painting to do, it was so peaceful. I was the only one workawayer.
Thanks a lot for the time we spend together. I wish you the best.

Solange fue una excelente workaway,
Nos encantó tenerla de visita en nuestro hogar, tanto en nuestro proyecto en la naturaleza, como en nuestra casa de la ciudad.
Supo respetar nuestra intimidad, acompañarnos y conocernos más en profundidad.
Super limpia y ordenada, compartimos unas recetas francesas, además de que pintó varias cosas que… read more
