Description

My first time as a woofer. A new experience that makes me very enthusiastic. So far, I have volunteered to help friends and neighbors in France, Portugal, and Morocco, taking care of animals, collaborating on building renovations, maintaining landscaped areas on properties, in restaurants and bars, giving French lessons to children, and cooking. I am retired, I have energy and free time, so I take advantage of it and share it with those who need it. Why the principle of Woofing? I met a Dutchman in France who was a globetrotter at the time and who revealed this concept to me. So today, I am putting it into practice. To travel because I like to travel to learn from others, to exchange. To travel usefully, because I like to help my neighbor. I am organized and flexible, rigorous and curious, I have practiced cohabitation for a very long time. My mother tongue is French, but I speak a quite good English, have basics knowledge of Spanish and use a little bit of Portuguese.


Ma première fois comme woofer. Nouvelle expérience qui me rend très enthousiaste. Jusqu’à présent, j’ai aidé bénévolement des amis ou des voisins, en France, au Portugal ou au Maroc, en m’occupant d’animaux, en collaborant à la rénovation de bâtiments, à l’entretien d’espaces paysagés de propriètés, en restaurants ou bars, en donnant des cours de français à des enfants, en cuisinant. Je suis à la retraite, j’ai de l’énergie et du temps libre, donc j’en profite et j’en fais profiter celles et ceux qui en ont besoin. Pourquoi le principe du Woofing ? La rencontre en France d’un hollandais à lépoque globe trotter qui m’a révèlé ce concept. Donc aujourd’hui, je mets en pratique. Pour voyager car j’aime voyager pour apprendre des autres, pour échanger. Pour voyager utile, car j’aime aider mon prochain. Je suis organisé et flexible, rigoureux et curieux, j’ai pratiqué pendant très longtemps la vie en cohabitation. Ma langue maternelle est le français, mais je pratique un bon anglais, de bonnes notions en espagnols et un peu en portugais.
