Description
Hi !
My name is Willie, a twenty-three years old french girl. I'm a quiet but determined temperament. I'm open-minded and enjoy to discover many different ways of life.
I like to live a simple way of life and love to laugh and have fun . I'm creative (draw , jewls, paint, design...).I like to find ideas to make the life simpler and I'm really respectful of nature and animals . I really enjoy team work, I love to be part of a group but I also can work alone.
In 2017, I've spent 5 months traveling in england thanks to workaway and I have to say it completly change my vision of life . I've met fantastic peoples ,seen amazing places and been able to try different type of work. Now I'm conviced that social exchange and help is the more important thing that we have and I think that we all have something to bring to each other .
I'm naturally curious , I like to talk about every subject , to learn different skills and I love to questionning myself about my life and the world .
Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn
I'm interested in:
Life at a Farmstay
Eco Projects
Animal Care
Charity Work
DIY and building projects
Some knowledge of:

Language practice
Art Projects
Helping with Computers/ Internet
Able to teach about:
General Maintenance

More details about your skills
I'm used to work in garden. I've learned from my mother at home and my different workaway experiences bring me more knowledge about garden. I like cooking , I often try different way to cook ( sometimes it's good ...sometimes not but it's always edible ^^ ) , I'm used to cook vegetarians meals but I also can cook meat . I've already made some painting during my other workaway experiences so I can do painting. I'm not afraid by hard work, I can look not very strong but sometimes things are not what there appears to be, I can have lots of energy when I want ;) I can be realy patient when I work .
