Description

Hi!

I'm Constance, I come from France (a bit from everywhere!). I graduated as an agronomy engineer last february in Chambéry (french Alps).
Since then, Portugal has been on my mind constantly, and I feel like I don’t want to jump straight into the “system” just yet. I’d love to learn more concrete things for life, with other humans, in a warm place. Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Greece are countries I also would love to go back.

I have lots of energy to give — whether it’s for farming projects, cooking, renovation, creating, music… I’m ready to help with anything, as long as I get a bit of guidance when it’s something new to me.
I’ve done many woofing/workaways so far, and others farming experience (peasant-baker, permaculture garden, sheep and goats farming..) during my studies.
By that time, I became a queen of sourdough bread baking.

I’m into dance, music (instruments, voice), yoga, acroyoga, WATER (swimming, surfing), animals and human beings - especially good conversations, laughter, and hugs.
I’ve also spent quite some time learning about alternative medicine, after dealing with my own health challenges, which are now improved. I’d be very happy to continue learning about that.

I really enjoy living in community and learning about others — and myself — through that experience.
As a balance, I need moments by my own to explore my surroundings, like a little wild cat.
I am always looking for nice views, and am often walking, because it helps me think in a nicer way.

I eat everything, I enjoy everything… except gluten... but I’m used to live with this intolerance and manage it well (NB : just to be clear: it’s not an allergy or celiac disease, so don’t worry — I’m not going to collapse if a bit of gluten slips in). Since years, I've learned to bake some nice glutenfree cakes, cookies, etc. Sometimes, with a bit of improvisation, you can create fire dishes with only 3 ingredients !!
I like cooking for others, and even more cooking in group for the rest of the group :)
I was a vegetarian for 7 years, so if you are, I'm completely fine with this diet.

I am free from november, after being in Portugal for a month.
If the ocean is nearby, I would be more than happy.
Im opened to go south Spain, in Italy too.

I don’t have a car (though I do have a license), but I come with enthusiasm for the adventure!

Looking forward to meet you😊

My aptitudes :

-Baking sourdough bread (and eager to learn about other fermented foods) - yeah, queen, we said!

-Gardening (experience on different farms)

-Cleaning (honestly, a passion!)

-Cooking (+ get some knowledge in nutrition).

-Taking care of children (still a kid at heart)

-Taking care of animals (I love all of them)

-Building & renovation (I don't have plenty of knowledge. My experience was mainly renovating old walls with plaster and ciment + isolate a little wooden music cabin of a friend.
But, pretty good at painting, did my parents’ walls :))

-Computer stuff (graphic design, mailing, organization…)

-Help with yoga classes?

-Many other things if you have the patience to teach me! I’m curious and motivated.
