Description
Hi there :)
I’m Cécile, 26 years old, from Switzerland. I graduated as a secondary school teacher a year ago. Before I'll start teaching teenagers about life, I've decided to learn more about life myself. That’s why I’m travelling and that's why I'm on workaway (again).
About me: I like being outdoors, doing different sports, getting my hands dirty or just enjoying nature. I like spending time with family and friends and having a good laugh in good company. I like learning new things, getting to know people and their lives and growing through experiences.
Nice to meet you! :)

I had the pleasure of spending 2 great weeks with Carol and Rick. The work was varied and in the middle of stunning nature. Trips to the nearby waterfalls and other natural gems, 4 newborn goats , beautiful exotic flowers and making our own chocolate made the stay very special. Thanks to you both for your warm hospitality and the insight into life… read more

Cecile was very helpful while staying with us on the farm. She's a wonderful person and easy to get along with.
She helped with the goats, cooking, weeding, cutting grass and whatever else came up.
We appreciated her help and wish her the best in life and her travels.

¡Casi dos meses en un huerto maravilloso...! Mi estancia con Ester pasó muy rápido. El trabajo fue variado e instructivo. Crear compost, cosechar, procesar y conservar frutas y verduras, preparar los surcos del huerto, plantar almácigos, cocinar, desmalezar... Además de las horas de trabajo, hubo tiempo para conversaciones interesantes y risas… read more

Punta de Lobos is a unique place. Volunteering in the project is currently less about inventing green solutions and more about limpiar, ordenar and keeping the place liveable for each other. But sharing the experience with the other volunteers and the locals was great, loads of lovely people around there! And also lots of lovely waves (even for… read more

What a place! The workaway on Ilha Grande really is a stay in paradise. The work included collecting, cleaning and sorting rubbish as well as helping to set up an ecological camp. Working with the other volunteers was much fun, they are super nice and helpful. In addition to the work, there was also enough time to enjoy the beautiful nature and… read more

We mainly did some construction work on one of the community buildings, which pleased me a lot. Sergio is a communicative and warmhearted person, I felt at ease immediately. He was… read more

We did some work on his house, took care of his chickens and their pollitos, enjoyed huge campfires, went to Asturian fiestas with his friends, spent time at the beach, shared some delicious… read more

Thanks a lot for your availability and kindness.

J'ai passé deux mois et demi chez cette famille géniale. Alex, Mathilde et les filles sont tous très chalereux et accueillants dès la première minute. Ils ont partagé tous avec moi - leur vie quotidienne, leurs fêtes familiales, leurs livres, ... Merci beaucoup pour cette expérience formidable, vous me manquez déjà!
Bisous et à la prochaine
