Description
Margot and Flavie: the inseparables
We've been best friends since childhood!
Margot has a degree in communications and marketing, and Flavie in interior architecture and scenography.
A few years ago, after graduating in France, we started traveling separately on solo trips/backpacking, which gave us a taste for adventure and for meeting new people, each more beautiful than the last.
On one side, Margot has been traveling for a year in Canada, where she volunteers on farms to bring her help and good humor.
And on the other, Flavie spent six months in Asia, where she also volunteered on farms and with families, contributing her creativity and ideas.
We're both very hands-on, we like to leave beautiful memories behind, and above all to help out and feel useful.
This year, we've both decided to travel together to bring our qualities together, and meet new people, exchange ideas and discover new cultures to create memories that we can share together.
Margot loves cooking, taking care of, sharing, telling stories and learning new things.
Flavie loves crafting, sharing, group activities, drawing and photography.
And we both love animals!
During our past Workaway experiences, we discovered living in a community on the other side of the world, forging precious bonds with people, and we discovered a country life for which we both fell in love.
Feeling close to nature has become something essential. 🌳
We complement each other, and can't wait to start this new experience of traveling as a duo.👭 -
