Description
Hi! I'm Hannah, I love to travel but never know when my next trip is! I am trying to get started in the diving world so I travel in off season!

I grew up on an island off the coast of France, in a bilingual family (French mother, American father). Like my parents and three siblings, I've always loved to travel and discover new things. After high school, I solo traveled to Canada for 6 months and had the best time there, I love meeting new people, hearing new stories, discovering beautiful landscapes and cultures! I went to Ireland in the end of 2023 and beginning of 2024 and had the most amazing time ever :)
I've also been around Europe and the USA with my family!!

I'm intrested in all kind of subjects, truly. Astronomy, languages, arts, cosmology, scuba diving, history, sailing, photography, horseriding, cooking, reading, music... You name it! And I would love to learn more about anything, around a cup of tea!

I'm easygoing, helpful, adventurous, outgoing, always intrested in learning new things, and new people.

I enjoy walking around new places, I did sailing and windsurfing for a few years, and I also did horseriding for 7 years. This was some time ago but got the chance to work in a horse farm in Ireland where I got back in the saddle :) that being said, I'm always eager to work on my riding and continue learning! I took piano lessons for a few years, and continue to play and learn on my own, same as for the violin. I recently rediscovered a strong intrested in bouldering, and I am working towards becoming a scuba instructor!!

oh and I have my boat coastal license ;)
I recently took a music mixing and mastering course to work on a good list of recording so I can put it to use whenever!

My best skill is my ability to learn new things, so if you need help with something I don't know much about, I'm sure to pick it up quickly if you can show me how to get started. I enjoy taking care of pets and animals. I can be very handy with organization and getting things tidy... woodwork (built chairs, benches, tables from scratch), with housework in general... and with bigger jobs, too: I helped out with a house renovation, and with tiny houses construction

Hannah I'm so sorry this is so late a review but I can't express highly enough how much we loved hosting you, the whole family and extended family were blessed with your presence for the initial two weeks which extended to almost two months!! We have such great memories of our Christmas together and the fun and laughter you brought along with the… read more

This review is long overdue, I left the cottage a month ago but I’m still thinking about my splendid 1 ½ months stay at Juliet’s cottage and farm.

Arriving with the plan to stay 2 weeks at most, I quickly found a second family there and could not leave them. But after a month, I got on my way with a friend I had met at the cottage. We explored… read more more of Ireland, but we missed Juliet, the horses and the cottage and farm life so bad we had to come back before going back home! I’m am not the only one to extend my stay, so if you think about coming to Juliet’s, don’t be surprised if you extend yours, or find yourself coming back!

I had a grand time with the other travelers, making long lasting friendships and making memories for life including, but far from being limited to, having been invited by Juliet’s family for Christmas! Juliet and her whole family are the kindest, most caring and welcoming people I have ever met. Truly.

The work at the farm was exciting and many different tasks had to be handled, taking care of the barn and stables, fields and equipment, and of course, working the horses or going on hacks. They are all still learning about one thing or an other, either human touch, or the lounge, working on their balance and folding once cantering, or learning to move less while mounting. So it’s never the same day there for sure. I loved this work with them Blue forever in my heart :)
Having not ridden for many years, I loved having the chance to get back in the saddle, and learning so much about how to truly care for the horses and barn on a daily basis (all the things I never really learned at my old riding school…).
Juliet would give us some directions in the morning for what specifically needed to be done, but we had great liberty at working at our own pace, and taking initiative for anything we thought might need some attention.

We also worked at the cottage when the weather really wasn’t in our favor, giving it a fresh coat of paint, which was a very funny bonding first weekday with the others. But otherwise, we loved our time at the farm. At lunchtime, Juliet would always make us good warm food, and during our weekends, we had access to a car, which was great to go exploring the south east of Ireland. There are also fun pub nights in Bunclody..

Thank you Juliet for everything you did, and offering me and the others our most incredible workaway experience!

À bientôt! Bisous
Hannah

What a treat it was for me to spend a week with Patricia and Stewart!
After doing some garden work or, during the first 2 days, helping with the pickle stand at a rodeo event, Patricia would take me, everyday without exception, see beautiful landscapes in the area: cliffs, waterfalls, panoramic views from the top of ski resorts... It was a really… read more

Hannah stayed with me for 7 days in Flesherton, ON, Canada. She was a lot of fun and arrived just in time to be with me at my market booth and enjoy the visiting rodeo! She has a good sense of humour and she was good company. Her jobs were weeding the gout weed out of my perennial garden and then dragging the piles of weeds to the fire pit. She… read more

Hanna est le genre d'aide que l'on aime recevoir. Bien que très jeune, elle a la maturité nécessaire pour remplir les tâches auxquels elle s'est engagée. Sa joie de vivre rempli encore ma maison même après son départ. Elle aura toujours sa place chez-moi.
