Description

Hello everyone!

We are Nicolas and Sophie, a couple from the French Alps going to discover Canada in depth through experiences in woofing or workaway (as we had already done in New Zealand and Europe).
What makes us HAPPY is to live unique experiences with simple and passionate people.

Nicolas likes to be outside, know the nature that surrounds him, adapt to it and manage it. Being manual, he uses his hands during his free time to carry out construction and renovation projects, in addition to doing sports and going on adventures.

Sophie also enjoys nature but also meetings and moments of sharing with people. Worker, both inside and outside, she likes to feel useful and does not fear the tasks considered "masculine".

We LOOOVE the great outdoors, mountains, forests and the sea. In the future, we want to live in harmony with our planet and its inhabitants. For this, we count on this trip to discover, learn and inspire us from you, your way of thinking and what you have built. We are here to help, we love the exchange and we seek sharing. Sobriety, independent, sutainable and off-grid living, eco-responsible alternatives, mutual aid… are terms that drive us and we are eager for experiences related to this.

More details about your skills

Nicolas is currently working on the management and maintenance of municipal water networks (leak research and repair, plumbing, pipe tracing, maintenance of water network elements, hydraulic modification...). Before moving into water works, he also did studies and internships in nature management and protection.
Nicolas owns an apartment that he has completely renovated during his free time, before renting it. He also owns with these parents a barn in the middle of a forest of 4 hectares. Regularly, he goes there to maintain the forest and make firewood, do the maintenance of the barn and carry out small construction projects or gardening.
He wants to do things right from the start to the end. He likes to be helpful and serious in his work.

Sophie studied tourism, she knows how to welcome and have a good contact with people in general. She loves versatility, she has created atypical/unusual accommodations, worked in the restaurant (receptionist, waitress and bartender) and also in butcher!

We like to occupy ourselves with our hands and achieve things. No way to squat the sofa, if we come to you, it is to get our hand dirty!
