Description
I moved to France in Sep. 2020 from my hometown of Miami, FL. Previously I was an Au Pair near Paris from 2014-2015, where I had time off enough to also participate in 3 Workaway stays throughout that year: one in an organic vineyard, another in a sustainable building stay, and the last in Gers on a family farm.

I love learning eco building skills, permaculture, and practicing French.

I am a bit of a digital nomad, working for two online high schools in the US. My work is asynchronous, so with my school work hours being flexible, I can travel and focus on other passions :)

More details about your skills
I have had some experience with permaculture and with construction, but too basic to be a skill; I have A LOT to learn about sustainable living and eco construction! I have taken online courses in Earthship construction and am looking to put that knowledge into practice.

I have some knowledge of Aromatherapy as I make my own beauty products.

Genuinely interested in getting to know you and in sharing her life and the passion she has for her farm, Louisa takes the time to explain patiently and in detail how and why things work the way they do on her farm. She also is open to fulfilling any request one might… read more

Gaelle, Cedric, et Serge,

Merci encore pour votre accueill. J'ai passé une semaine qui m'apprend qu'il est possible de vivre "a sustainable lifestyle" et de faire plein de trucs soi-même sans acheter les produits commercial. Les legumes se poussent dans la terre et pas de le panier des supermarchés!

I stayed with Philippe and Maryline only 6 days in February 2015 and it was absolutely fantastic! The work can be hard, trimming the vines, replacing the old wooden stakes along the vineyard. But Philippe is always fun to be around and leads by his energetic work ethic. He also varies the work, between labeling bottle in the warehouse to being… read more
