Description

I am an energetic 38-year-old French digital nomad and Australian permanent resident. My dream is to live in harmony with nature in a community with like-minded people. Until I find the right place, I love experimenting with volunteering in different places to learn more about this way of living and to gather best practices. I am also really interested in staying in spiritual communities, yoga retreats, and spaces that support inner growth.

I'm adaptable and happy to help anywhere I'm needed. I am a keen gardener who loves growing food. I have been volunteering in communities for a while now so I am very used to the way they work and can work autonomously with minimal supervision.

I work online from my computer (part-time) so it is important for me to have access to internet, or a good mobile phone coverage.

More details about your skills

I can be fairly autonomous in the garden. I grow food for free, using materials from the land. I have experience in animal care.
I am good at finding solutions and making the best out of what we've got (using whatever material we have for example).
I have a strong critical mind and like to improve efficiency by implementing small tricks.
I have done some painting and building work as well. I'm happy to learn anything and can be quickly left alone.
I can help with work on the computer. I have a Master Degree in Business Management and years of experience working in office jobs in very diverse roles such as project manager, admin work, etc.

I had a great time with Anna, Nick and their 2 sons. I stayed for a bit more than 1 week and did some intense gardening sessions (removing overgrown weeds), spent some times with the kids (they are adorable!) and did some cooking.
The place is really beautiful and I really enjoyed my little private accommodation above the kitchen.

I had a great experience with Luke. His place is stunning, the view is amazing, and his dogs are the cutest and friendliest.
I really appreciated that he trusted me every day to do the work in the garden autonomously and at my own pace while he was at work.
I highly recommend staying with him.
Thank you for everything, Luke!

Anais was a wonderful guest! She blitzd my veggie garden and fruit tree orchard back into shape after some months of neglect. Had lovely chats. Even folded my washing and left me a kombucha brew on the counter before she left! You are so welcome to return, Ana.

I had a beautiful relaxing time at Narla and Emmanuel's place. I was the only helper at the time. I walked the dogs, took care of the animals (chickens, baby turkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs and cat), weeded the gardens and participated in a tree planting session (100 trees !).
I appreciated a lot the trust and autonomy to organise my work how I … read more

Ana, was an absolute sweetheart to have in our home.
We really appreciated her help, her nature, and he wisdom of the land already.
It was so easeful to have Ana with her and would certainly recommend her and have her stay with us again.
Thank you Ana x

anais stayed with us for a month or so, and helped out in the garden and with land maintenance. while we are not a farm, we are in rural Australia, in the sub tropics and things tend to grow very fast and can get out of hand before you know it, and Anais helped us to manage some of the various weeds that occasionally come up. In particular, she … read more

It was a great pleasure to stay at the ecovillage in Maleny and to find out more about the ins and outs of living in a community. The people are wonderful and very open to share openly about their experiences. Thanks to the work party, we get as well to meet new people that are interested in community living too. Looking forward to visit you … read more
