Descripción
Hello! I'm looking for my first Workaway this summer after graduating from university last year. I've done some backpacking this year and it was amazing, but now I want to experience places more thoroughly and with longer stays. I love cooking, hiking, cycling and being in beautiful places!

I learned French to quite a high level when I was a teenager but have since lost all my confidence with it, so I'd love to start practising again! Apart from French, I'm keen to learn any language spoken by the host.

Dejado por el workawayer () para el anfitrión (Enthusiastic native English ...)

I just spent a month in Villard-de-Lans and feel so lucky to have spent time with this generous family in a ridiculously beautiful part of the world.

Claris and Garance are such bright and playful presences to be with every day and you will never be bored when looking after them. I really admired how headstrong, clever, witty and empathetic they… read more are for their age, and they were so confident interacting with me from the very first second. They can be stubborn when you need them to do something as most 7 year olds are, especially when they’ve become engrossed in playing, but over the month I learned how to best engage them in these moments and we managed to make games out of chores and boring things like getting them ready for bed! We also played card games, board games, make-believe, and random games that the girls would invent, my personal favourite being a kind of rolling sellotape dodgeball…

The hikes and cycles around the family home are absolutely gorgeous and there are so many trails to explore. It’s my favourite type of landscape and every time I went out into the mountains I came back in such a good mood. I stayed in May 2024, and unfortunately it was an uncharacteristically very rainy/grey month, so I didn’t manage to get out every day like I wanted to. However, Margaux and Christophe were so supportive about showing me which were the best routes to take on the days when the sun came out and with some obsessive weather forecast tracking I managed to do the main peaks around their house. Other hikers were so friendly on the trails and would always say bonjour which felt like I was part of a little community! On rainy days, I’d wait for a dry spell and cycle to the village to grab a little treat from the bakery, and was able to do my online tutoring job from the house. The girls were also really empathetic about the rain scuppering some of my hiking plans which I thought was so sweet.

Margaux always made sure to tell me what was needed each day and it was never more than a few hours. I didn’t really consider it work either as I enjoyed being with the girls, it was just another fun part of my day. The most ‘intense’ days would be when both Margaux and Christophe worked from the office and then I would be responsible for the girls’ morning and evening routine. During the month I visited Marseille, Nice, and Grenoble, and Margaux and Christophe were fantastic at helping me get to Villard/Grenoble for buses or trains when they were driving to work or dropping the girls off to a hobby.

(Excelente)
