Description

I am an Irish student travelling this summer. I am skilled at construction, having studied it for 6 years, specifically in carpentry. I can paint, sand, saw, screw, upholster and build most things and if I don't know I am more than willing to learn! In previous workaways I have assisted in building things like a pool and a shed, upholstering furiture, painting whole rooms, cleaning equipment and can do most DIY. I love animals, especially cats and horses. My hobbies include swimming, reading, horseriding and I speak English, Irish and French. I am interested in learning new languages and immersing myself in new cultures. I have experience in other things aswell like, front of house, waitressing and working with animals. I prefer quieter environments and I love nature and the outdoors! I am determined to immerse myself in cultural and language exchanges, and see more of the world. I have currently been to 14 countries and 3 continents.

Eva has been a real pleasure to have in the house. Kind, funny, and always eager to take part, she naturally found her place within the group and integrated very well. Independent and dedicated, she works seriously, especially when it comes to woodworking, which she handles with skill. She consistently produces high-quality work and willingly gets … read more

I spent a week with Bénédicte and Jean-Luc. They live in a beautiful home up in the hills, with wonderful amenities like a pool, a ping pong table and lots of games. It was truly a 10/10 cultural exchange, everyone was so warm and welcoming from the get go. It is a lively house with other workawayers which made it great fun and I made some friends … read more

We so loved Ava's stay with us, we felt we had gained a spare daughter! Lovely to have around, very curious, chatty and game to try anything - her first oyster experience was quite a laugh! She mixes very well with all ages.

I spent just over a week at Brigittes lovely home nestled in the hills of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Brigitte was very welcoming and friendly, always patient and willing to teach. She is intelligent and humorous, like her family. She is great to practice french with! Every task was explained well and you were trusted to carry it out. The work was … read more
