Description
My name is Élodie, I’m 33 and I'm a French artist / illustrator and traveller above 2016.
I've done a lot of volunteering, both short and long term. (With or without this platform) Volunteering has enabled me on many occasions to immerse myself in the country in which I live and to get as close as possible to the local people. I've acquired many skills through these different experiences and now I'm back on workaway for my arrival in Australia in October 2023.

To introduce myself, I'm curious by nature, I enjoy working on myself and meditating to find a certain serenity. I'm very open-minded and also sensitive to nature, animals (I used to ride horses for years) , people and beautiful things.

I like to learn from others and have both light and deep discussions.

I'm a terrible cook but I can make french crêpes ! :)

As I wrote earlier, I'm an artist and illustrator, and I love my job, even if it's precarious. I'd be delighted to help you with decorating questions, a wall to paint... I'd also be very happy to help you in the garden, or with anything else... I'm really very easy; I've worked in many areas, restaurants, hotels, cafés, with people with disabilities, kids etc.

At the moment I'm working on a publishing project, illustrating a children's book. I want to make this clear because in my spare time, depending on my diary, I may be busy working. I don't want to appear rude, that's not my intention... I just want you to be aware.

That won't stop me spending time with you :)

I hope to see you soon,

Élodie

I had a great time in Bacalar at Valerie’s restaurant.
I mainly worked on the restaurant's menu, the logo and on a mock-up for a future mural for outdoors.
The schedule was clear, I really liked this break we all took together for lunch time, it allowed us to discover each other more. The atmosphere was good and during our days off we sometimes… read more

Emma y toda su familia nos acogieron calurosamente y con los brazos abiertos a principios de enero. Con mi novio estuvimos 7 maravillosas semanas en el jardín de Yga, donde reinan la apertura mental, la amabilidad y la benevolencia.
Emma es una persona increíble, siempre muy positiva, te valorará en tus proyectos.
Por mi parte, tuve la inmensa… read more

What a wonderful, exciting, vibrant and uplifting woman Elodie is. She was an absolute joy to have in our home and to spend time with. Not just because she worked hard and enjoyed the varied tasks we had to do, but she added to the day with her enthusiasm and her never ending smile.

She was willing to learn new skills, which I am sure she will… read more

I had the chance to stay with Julie and Charles for a week. It was very important for me to share a few moments with local people during my short stay in Australia. How lucky I was to have met these charming people ! Julie and Charles considered me as a human and not as a worker and that's really a positive point in this cultural exchange.

In… read more one week, we did different things around the house and it wasn't difficult at all. I enjoyed to work with them and not for them. We worked and talked at the same time, or we listened to music (they love to listen the music !)
They know how to make you feel comfortable.

As a European, it was a pure pleasure for me to see bananas, passion fruit and limes in the garden every morning.... (and to eat them, of course :wink: ), But also to feed the chickens, the duck and these wonderful birds called Galah (grey and pink). It was very nice to see some wild wallabies around the house as well !

Julie and Charles have a big heart and are multiple potential people. They had many great experiences in their respective lives, it was incredible to listen to them.
I am very grateful to have share some time with these great people. Every day we talked about lots of different topics and it was very interesting.

I had the pleasure of having a very good and hot coffee every morning as soon as I arrived at their home. (I slept in a very good bed and had a bathroom for myself in another flat)
We always have eaten very well, especially for dinner. They cook really well and take the time to do so.
My challenge was to cook a “Coq au vin”, one of a traditional French dishes. A first time for me ! (they are open-minded and curious people, so if you have any suggestions for a meal, I guess you'll be welcome to cook something to share with them.)

I also had the chance to go for a walk in the bush with Julie and one of her friends one day. It was a very nice walk. What could be better than discovering a nice place with the locals?

It's a little bit difficult for me to explain in a few worlds how nice this week has been with them....
I left this charming place with a smile and positive thoughts. I feel so enriched today.

Julie and Charles, I will never thank you enough for your kindness, your generosity, your hospitality, your friendship and your caring. Without you, my trip wouldn't be so great. Thank you so much for being who you are!
Please take care of yourself.

With my friendship,
See you next time in this wonderful world !

Élodie

Superbe expérience chez Aaron à Camp Brun !

Que de découvertes et d’échanges... c’est un lieu de partage où chaque personne apporte un peu de sa culture, de ses connaissances et de ses expériences.
Chez Aaron, j’ai pu découvrir le monde de l’apiculture. Très pédagogue, il saura vous parler avec passion de ses abeilles (un vrai plus) mais aussi… read more

Elodie was the nicest and easiest person to have around the place. Thoughtful, gentle, considerate, very willing and a great cook. I enjoyed sharing stories and ideas with her. Her communication before arrival was excellent. Worked longer hours than required to try to get an internet job done, which I really appreciated. She also did some… read more
