Descripción

Hi!

My name is Clothilde - but you can call me Clo - and I am 24 years old. I come from Lille in the North of France but I have spent the last 5 years living abroad between Ireland and Italy. After finishing working for the Winter Olympics in Milan, I am now ready to go back to South America for new experiences and to meet new people! It has been my dream to go to Argentina for the last 5 years and I am excited to come this August. I would then like to head to Chile and Bolivia.

I am passionate about literature, outdoor sports (hiking, running, horse riding...), animals, and art. In my free time, I love spending time in nature, running, cooking, and doing yoga. My friends often say about me that I'm a creative, cheerful person - I am always ready to lend a hand and I love learning new skills.

I had a first Workaway experience back in 2023 helping at an animal rescue in the Irish countryside for two months, which I look back on very fondly. I am now heading for a few months in South America and am looking for 1 or 2-month experiences, in hostels (I have loved the atmosphere of all the hostels I've been to in the past and I would like to provide that same magical experience to others), animal rescues or any other project that could passionate me. I am fluent in French, English and Italian and I have an intermediate level in Spanish (I can manage conversations pretty easily, I just need to ease back into it).

I hope to hear from you soon!

Que habilidades tienes?

I have worked in hospitality and client services so I can help with guests, cleaning, light cooking and service in general. I am somewhat handy and very creative so I can help with tasks such as fixing fences, painting, building small things. I also know how to use a computer and am good at editing videos and managing social media if that is something you need.

I have worked with rescued animals through my previous Workaway and can tend to their basic needs (feeding, cleaning) as well as light treatments where needed.

I'm a quick learner and I'm always willing to lend a hand so with some discussion I think there is nothing I could not do :)

This place was one of the main reasons I came to Uruguay, I was attracted by the ecological aspect, the beautiful surroundings, the horses and the very positive reviews from previous Workawayers. Daniela and Ben are welcoming and clearly passionate about their project; the property is beautiful, the animals are well cared for, and the sustainable … read more approach to the land and food can be inspiring. However, I had a real issue with the actual conditions of the Workaway.

Before my arrival, Daniela asked whether I would be interested in creating social media content for them, but expected me to start more than a month before my arrival. After I realised I had misunderstood her request, I had to refuse because of other commitments. I found it surprising that this was expected before I had even seen the place and met the people involved.

Before coming, I was told that a retreat was being organised and that they would need help, but the amount and nature of the work were not clearly discussed. During the retreat, I worked 9 days in a row, totalling around 50 hours in one week, with tasks including cleaning, cooking and serving all meals to the guests. On the first day, I worked from 7:30am to 9pm with about 2.5 hours of break. My issue was not necessarily with the tasks themselves, but the amount of unpaid work expected without prior discussion. When I raised my concerns about the hours, I was told that we were there to serve the guests and that this should not be considered “work”. The situation improved somewhat as I was working from around 7:30am to 3pm until the end of the retreat. The day after the retreat ended, Daniela called me in at 9am to discuss the rest of my stay, which I thought meant discussing rest days and the organisation for the following weeks, but she just ended up assigning me more tasks for that same morning.

I found communication difficult at times, especially towards the beginning, with instructions given quickly or abruptly and frequent negative remarks. I was uncomfortable with the comments made about young people not wanting to work, particularly in the context of the retreat. I believe there should be a clear distinction between volunteering and providing unpaid labour for activities involving paying guests. I felt that my requests for rest days were interpreted as a lack of commitment, even though I believe days off are not negotiable, particularly in the case of volunteers.

After my first week, I realised that I generally felt uncomfortable with the experience and did not feel able to enjoy the place in the way I had hoped. The volunteering, communication and overall atmosphere were not what I had expected, so I ultimately preferred to leave. I think future Workawayers would benefit from a very clear conversation beforehand about working hours, days off, commercial activities, accommodation and the type of tasks expected. For me, the main issue was the mismatch between the volunteering experience I expected and the reality of my 10 days there.

I had a wonderful time at Juan and Arianna’s residency. Communication was great from the very beginning: they shared their project with me, were always responsive whenever I had questions, and were genuinely curious about my travel plans. The place itself is beautiful and provides a wonderful environment for creativity and art-making. There were … read more

Clothilde was a lovely person to have at the Residency! She was very kind, respectful and easy-going, and she helped us with the daily tasks around the house. She brought such a lovely energy to the house and was a pleasure to have around. We’re very happy to have had her as part of our project and would happily host her again. Thank you … read more
