Description
Hi!
i'm Philo, a french girl of 22yo, and after 4 years of physiology degree in Dublin, I am currently on a gap year and have been travelling for the past 4 months: I've done loads of volunteering jobs from helping in a self-sustainable farm in Portugal to teaching english in a Moroccan school :)
The main thing that brings me happiness without a doubt is nature, I'm from a town in the beautiful Alps mountains and i absolutely love being in the outdoors, i could probably spend 2 hours watching a meter square of grass with all its little insects and i wouldn't get bored. I love to draw, I'm always carrying my sketching notebook with me! I love hiking and camping, ultimate frisbee (super fun!), absolutley love animals (I've been vegan two years now best decision ever, I'd love to tell you about it!), meeting new people and share our adventures and spreading good energy.
In life I'm very spontaneous and ive got so much energy, i wake up in the morning and i don't even need coffee it's like a superpower :)) I learn things pretty fast and I'm very autonomous you won't have to babysit me I promise. And I'm fun. I think (my friends say that sometimes :)
I hope you'll want to meet me, I would love to help in whatever your project is :))

Philo was an exceptional helper and a great presence on my farm. She stayed only for a week in February , but her contribution was enormous Philo worked with me with great commitment, care and positivity, helping with so many tasks both in the garden in the house and with the animals.

Philo stayed with us for ten days and it was an absolute delight. The energy she brings can really transform a place. We did great progress in the garden with her assistance. She mingled fast and did very well with the rest of the team. She was always in a good mood and willing to assist. It was so easy to work together. Helped not only with the… read more

I helped at the dog shelter in march and I had such a great time, it's really inspiring seeing all these people, Giannis and Nikos and Jaimie (and Petra and Daphne from the Netherlands!!) working so much to allow a better life for stray dogs and cats in Greece.
