Description
I am a multi-disciplinary artist with a special interest in experimental/ avant-garde music literature, and performance art
- French- American dual nationality, living in Berlin, Germany
- the call of the wild is raging once again in my heart, and I am trying to escape my big city life, will you help?
- avid hiker/ walker/ outdoor sports person
- also very interested in collecting vintage/antique clothing and decor (I have a small shop). I am quite good with fashion styling/interior decorating advice should you be interested. Ironically, also good at helping with decluttering and organization.
- though I lean quite heavily introverted, I am very comfortable in customer service/ communication settings as I have had a mutlitude of jobs in this field and consider myself highy empathetic and warm on the inside. Interpersonally, I am more of a slow burn, and do require a decent amount of solo-time.
- As a living/working companion, I am very respectful, flexible, and responsible
- I am very interested in and highly motivated to learn anything to do with DIY, conservation, ecology, foraging, gardening, the natural world, crafts and etc. I am not super skilled at these but am good at picking things up and quite resourceful when given a task I am unfamiliar with.
-Would also be very interested in meeting open-minded people and having a community to make experimental art/music/projects with.

Camille is a lovely and mature young lady. She spent a lot of time (in the small period of time), integrating herself into the community and attending social events. Camille did all that was asked of her and more, to a high standard. She made some amazing things with eggs. The banana egg breakfast was the best :-). This young lady has a beautiful… read more

I apologize for the late feedback!!! It is in no way a reflection of the time I spent in Dalavich with Irene and Chris (and the rest of the village for that matter).
I'd already worked at quite a few places through Workaway before I came here, but this is where I felt the most at home and like a part of the community/family (despite only staying… read more

I very much enjoyed my time in Helmsdale. It was absolutely beautiful and I was lucky enough to be there when the Gorse was in bloom and the hills were all bright yellow with flowers (early May). I went on some beautiful hikes in the area and met some awesome locals. The work was very interesting and fair. I got to do a bit of everything: bake for… read more

Apologies for the delay in leaving feedback. Camille was a hard working and diligent Workawayer. She turned her hand to doing translations, baking and a lot of gardening. A shame she could not stay longer as we would have liked to get to know her better.

So sorry for the very late feedback!!! Definitely not an indication of how I felt about my time here. Probably more that I'm not really sure how to describe how much I loved my experience here.
*The hours were very fair, I loved that you could choose 3 or 5 day options.
*Mike was a flexible and understanding boss and the rest of the maintenance… read more

Camille,
Is an excellent worker and a great person. We enjoyed having her here and would have like to have more time to get to know her better. She always worked hard without complaint even when the weather was miserable. Camille would be a great addition to any team!

Camille or should I say Kamee ;) She I quite the washing machine! Also much other things. Ready and willing to work when I needed her too, even if that meant getting up early.
Kamee as well makes great dinner company, I really enjoy her appreciation to good things, must be the French background. It was nice as the week went on how she truly… read more

My Workaway experience at Tom's was truly wonderful and really lifted my spirits. From the beautiful surrounding wilderness and beach, to tasty soul-quenching food and learning about the delicious treasures that are all around us, this was truly a unique place to stay. Highlights included fermented elderflower champagne, mushroom tea, gathering… read more

This was my first Workaway experience and I had a wonderful time staying with Jenny and Alex in their huge, beautiful Detroit home. I had my own room, learned some new skills (anyone need to hire a pro- paint scraper ;) ?), met other awesome workawayers and air bnb's staying at the house, had access to bikes so I could explore the city (not even… read more

Camille is awesome! During her time with us she helped with a wide variety of work including renovation, food prep, organization, clean-up, and more. One project of distinction that Camille helped with was a bathroom that had original wall tiles covered with several layers of paint. After several days of arduous scraping, the old paint was gone… read more
