Description
Hi everyone ! :)
We're Manon and Vivien, a young couple directly coming from Lille, in France !
Living in France since we're children, we want to discover what ours neighbors have to offer ! we're eager to discover people from all around the world, their traditions, their cooking, their way of lives.
For that we're taking this a long journey around France and Europe with no return date for now! We are currently searching for a campervan to travel with us.
About us :
We're simple to live with, we don't need much and we are volunteer to do anything. We're amazed by almost everything. We think that we are funny but who are we to say that...
We're both talkative but also listening. We like learning from others : for us, it's what will make this trip worth.
We experienced 3 wonderful workaways in Portugal, Spain in 2021 / 2022 and France in 2023. We learn taking care of a farm and animals (horses, donkeys..), and a lot of handy jobs such as : bulding a wall, stone path, water system and taking care of Fields and gardens.
We really enjoyed this way of life. At this time, we were backpacking. We aimed to renew this journey around Europe with a campervan and learn a lot new things such as permaculture, animal care, and hospitality.
We also have experiences in hospitality. We worked as receptionist (Vivien) and waitress (Manon) in a 4* hotel in French Alps last summer.

Manon : Hi there ! I'm Manon, I'm 27 ! I've just received my degree. I have already experienced Workaway in Island for an ecological farm and a music festival. Also, I traveled during one year by myself in South America so I can speak Spanish, English and French (of course).

We both know how to cook, we lived together in a flatsharing for a year and had to cook for at least 4 people each meal.
We are quite handy, we always want to see if there is something we can do by ourselves before calling someone to help. Even if we're not experts, we can handle ourselves with tools !
We are good in a few languages and so we can teach you french if you want.
