Description

Hi there! I'm back to work exchange experiences, to go on connecting with different lifestyles. After growing in France and living abroad, I arrived to Pamplona (Spain) through HelpX, few years ago and enjoyed very much discovering the Basque culture. I wish now to change of sceneries to go on learning and sharing in other languages.

More details about your skills

I feel curious, not an expert in anything concrete as well as multi-faceted, with interests such as languages and nonverbal communication, dabbling in crafts, dance, yoga-meditation, outdoor activities and performing arts. Living in credentialism societies, I studied litterature and translation and took contact improvisation, yoga, meditation and gardening courses to work in some of these areas.

Meliá has shared with generosity her time and presence and has been a real support both in domestic and more work oriented activities... with care and attention. I particularly appreciated Meliá's creativity and proactive approach and the conversations we shared. As well as our 4 hands piano moments... Grazie e auguri!

I'm really thankfull to Jason for all the experiences I lived in a bit more than a week, it's hard to believe it! And I had the chance to share his flat with another workawayer, Flor, una persona muy linda (me encantó cruzarme contigo por el camino, gracias Petite Fleur).
Jason is multi-talented and interested in many different areas and very … read more

Thank you very much to Alessandra and her family for welcoming me in their beekeeping farm and so much more! I had the chance to stay in a beautiful lodge with a circular bedroom, so I could enjoy delicious meals prepared by Giuliana, as well as cooking on my own.
Alessandra and the help that she needs is as she described it on her profile. I … read more

It's always difficult for me to leave feedback when I've had a great time with a volunteer.
Perhaps it would be easier to list the tangible things she did for me, beyond just taking care of my emotions.
Melia was a huge help to me: she helped me "clean" my house of some of the heaviness and some of the many items I hadn't yet managed to get rid of … read more

I feel very lucky for these 3 weeks spent in Violeta's fairy place! She is a very sensitive person and I was very appreciative of the many different attentions she provided me, in her will to make me feel at ease.
Her home is like her: full of potential and creativity! There is much to do to realise all her ideas and dreams as she has a wide … read more

It was a joy and privilege to know and host Mélia. She was a wonderful help here, so caring and diligent in all her work, with plants and animals alike. Equally happy to turn her hand to painting, digging the vegetable patch, weeding methodically or cooking a delicious meal from whatever she could find in the fridge. She has a positive, … read more

Dear Jacqueline, thank you very much for the lovely 2 weeks and half I spent on your company. My last workaway, helpx and woofing experiences were in 2018, in several countries, but I never had the opportunity of doing it in France and I enjoyed very much feeling like being in the UK, and above all in a place welcoming all souls opened to connect … read more

Dear Pilar, thank you very much for welcoming me at the beginning of the month and being flexible with the dates. I loved discovering this part of Italy and the potential of your place. I hope you'll find a team of workawayers with knowledge of carpentry, plumbery, gardening... and a lot of energy and strength to help you repair and relaunch your … read more
