Descripción
Hi there! I’m Alice, a sunny, dynamic and open-minded volunteer ready to help and learn along the way 😊

💪 Skills (see details below)
Champion in Organization 🧠 / Human Border Collie 🐶 / Helping Hand Syndrom 👋 / Member of Peter Pan family's tree 🌟

--- 📝 ---

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved stories. She spent all her free time writing and creating adventures with her friends, exploring the world through imagination and play. As the years went by, she grew up, got a passport and started off on real adventures!

As a professional reporter, I love stories. Listening to them, writing them, sharing them. Last year, I decided to take a sabbatical to create meaningful stories and learn new things. That was one of the best decisions in my life! 😊

Thanks to Workaway, I learned a lot about gardening, permaculture (and life) with Stephen in Ireland, Astrid in Norway, and Chalotte in Denmark 🌱 In Louisburg, Pat and Jim introduced me to the Irish lambing season and taught me how to take care of sheep 🐑 In the crowded streets of Oslo, along the hiking trails of the Lofoten Islands, in a small pub in Waterford, I shared amazing moments with other volunteers and locals.

Every new encounter is a new story that begins, an opportunity for me to learn and connect with other people for a few minutes, hours or days, creating shared memories that will last for years.

And because we never stop learning (and growing!), I'm still looking for new adventures! 🌍
Whatever the project is, I'm happy to be part of the adventure and I'm ready to write the next stories with you.

So, if you need someone energetic and always in a good mood, please contact me! 💌

There are so many ways to communicate without speaking, but it's always better to learn new languages so you can connect more deeply with people. I'd love to teach French, improve my English and discover and learn new languages!

Algo más...
I like spending time singing and playing guitar, writing fiction over hot chocolates (it's very important to be inspired) or just sharing stories and memories with people. I also love hiking and stargazing (even if I don't know the constellations very well yet... but I'm very interested in learning!).

Besides film and photography, I also enjoy baking (watch out for the incredible chocolate goods!) and sharing a good meal with others . But what I really love is helping people and making them smile.

And of course, I enjoy traveling. I've already explored Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Nepal, southern Portugal, Slovenia, a few European cities (Amsterdam, Prague, London, Milan, Vienna, Paris, Porto) and a few American cities (New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco).

Alice stayed with us for two weeks in May. Fortunately for us she decided she wanted to return for a week by the end of June. This suited us well. Alice is very efficient and eager to work. At our place she had much responsibility connected to outdoors painting of our house. Besides that she helped us with weeding, picking berries, cutting fire… read more

A big red and white house (freshly painted) in the middle of nature, just outside Oslo. In that cosy place, Anna-Beth and Leif welcomed me with warmth and smiles on their faces, I instantly felt like I was visiting family 🥰

There were a lot of on going projects around the house and in the garden, perfect to have a new task to do each day 😁 I… read more

🚜🐑🌱🐣 Fellow workawayers: if you love nature, animals and good vibes, I definitely recommend to live this experience! The garden is huge, the company is lovely (human and animal), the countryside is quiet and not too far from Copenhagen (quick ride to the train station in Sorø, and off you go to the capitol!). Be sure to explore Roskilde to learn a… read more

What a beautiful human experience 🥰 My stay with Astrid was short (just 10 days) but I had the chance to share amazing moments with her and the wonderful team of volunteers. Every morning, we meet at the barn (volunteers house) for breakfast with Astrid and plan for the day: taking care of the garden, going in the mountain to find some moss,… read more

1 week stay, a lot of different jobs and a lot of fun! Margo reached out to me while I was on another workaway near Kilkenny, and after reading her profile and chatting with her, I couldn't refuse to come and help her. A lovely time with a lovely family 😊

I spent most of my time working with Pearse in the house or in the polytunnel and I learned… read more

We only had Alice with us for a week and during that short time she was very helpful with many projects we are working on. Cutting willow, Painting walls, chopping timber, panelling a wall, using power tools was no problem, she was super to organise in the kitchen and Polly tunnel. Oh not to forget her amazing brownies.
Always a pleasure to work… read more

What a month! An incredible human experience with two lovely, amazingly kind and warm people who taught me so much. I felt at home from day one and would have stayed longer if I could (I'll be back as soon as I can! 😊).

🏡 Home is a charming house surrounded by nature, just a few kilometers from Mountshannon. A large garden with 2 polytunnels, a… read more

Alice is refreshingly positive and has amazing energy.
She is definitely one of the hardest workers we have ever had, and always does her best and more.
She wears a smile on her face from morning to night, and her good humour is infectious.
Her English is almost perfect.
I couldn't recommend her highly enough.
Thank you Alice for everything, and… read more

Welcome to Freshford, a small village in County Kilkenny! A 30-minute walk brings you to Susan's home, a splendid, spacious, newly renovated house with a huge garden.

Alice is warm engaging and keen to learn from others and new experiences. Her personality is infectious and she is a great part of the Workaway team. Alice was with us 3 weeks and no task was a bother to her, in fact if the weather had been better, I’m sure Alice would’ve had fun being creative and building more for us. I’d say Alice could achieve… read more

This family... 🥰 I was supposed to stay for 2 weeks but ended up staying 1 more week. Thank you for your warm welcome into your lovely home 😘

From day one, my stay at Bean and Grace’s was so much craig 😁 When I arrived mid-November, they just had these big new windows installed downstairs that offer a SPLENDID view of Bantry Bay and the garden.… read more

Alice arrived to our house when we were in utter chaos--our place had been turned into a building site earlier that day and we had SO. MUCH. TO DO. She couldn't have arrived at a better time. Alice was instrumental in helping us around the house and garden, and quickly developed a beautiful friendship with the kids (particularly the youngest, age… read more

My stay at Grainne and Tony’s home was my first workaway and I couldn’t have dreamed of a better way to start this whole experience. Workaway is for me an incredible opportunity to meet and connect with people, to share stories and create memories while learning from each other. Tony and Grainne are such sociable, generous and kind people, I’m so… read more lucky to have met them. 🥰

From the very first video call to the last goodbye hug at the airport, Grainne and Tony (and Molly 🐶) have welcomed me in their family with arms (and paws) wide open. I stayed with them for 1 week in November and enjoyed helping them to clear the attic (“work” is not the right word because it felt like so much fun!). We dived through history and time while sorting every letter, photograph, cloth and boxes we found up there. I remember reading a register from the 1920's!

After sorting all the items, we also kinda played “Giant Tetris”, stocking all the boxes in closets, and “Grown-up Lego”, building Ikea furniture (regular Lego are also for grown-ups, don’t get me wrong! 😂). Cleaning that attic with Grainne was such a lively adventure, our energetic duo were so effective that we cleared the whole thing in 2 or 3 days! And I think Tony and I beated the record on “how fast you can build an Ikea wardrobe” 👀.

We also had good times in the kitchen where Tony taught me how to make an Irish beef stew with Guinness (I call him Chef Tony from now on 🧑‍🍳) and I shared and baked my brownies recipe. Totally healthy snacks according to the sign in the kitchen stating “Simple botany: chocolate comes from cocoa, which is a plant, therefore chocolate is a fruit”. 😁

I had the pleasure to share wonderful and inspiring chats about pretty much every topic that came to mind (how to find the best way to communicate with different people, how travels open up your mind, culture differences, family, music, cinema…), and Tony and Grainne made sure that I discovered some of the best spots in Dublin (go grab a pint in “The Hole in the Wall”, where everyday is Christmas! 🎄)

Thank you so much for welcoming me into your life for a few days and sharing all these moments together, I will cherish them for a long time 🩵 (and dear Molly, I’m not forgetting you and our refreshing walks! 🐶).

PS: Sorry for the late feedback, I got caught up with Christmas and New Year celebrations! Big hugs from France🤗
