Description

[Updated 2026]

I am available and looking for opportunities in France
- - - - -

Hello!

I am Lucy from Devon in the UK.

I think I am:

1. Really practical with lots of skills.
2. Motivated and hardworking.
3. Tidy, calm and considerate.
4. Light-hearted and kind.
5. Smart, creative and open-minded.
6. I speak reasonable French, but would love to improve.

- - - - -

Summary:

I am an ex-Army Officer, now a Naturopath/Wilderness Coach, and I have previously restored an old property, trained in organic farming, and created and run a successful Superhost Airbnb.

I enjoy design of all kinds (web, graphic, interior...); and anything to do with sustainable or organic living/farming/gardening.

- - - - -

And in a little more detail - what I can offer:

- Previously renovated an old house, its gardens and annexed 5* Airbnb - particular love of natural/eco interior design
- I have a side business in website design and content creation/writing
- I am great at 'home staging' and photographing properties, and creating successful holiday property online profiles
- I have a passion for teaching, workshop facilitation, leadership and coaching
- I have completed many sustainability courses - including regenerative farming, harvesting and building
- Happy using power tools and machinery, and a sewing machine!
- I am a former Army Officer, and UN events manager

Skills aside, I love:

- Cooking delicious meals
- Sharing and exchanging stories and ideas
- Encouraging, listening and learning from/teaching others
- Keeping active and spending time in nature
- Reading, writing, being creative, skiing, hiking, singing and playing piano
- I love animals and have separate house and pet sitting references. My family have a farming background so I have done lots of lambing, chicken herding, and finding escapee goats!
- And shhh, don't tell anyone, but I love cleaning, and weeding! (I find them therapeutic!)

- - - - -

My reason for Workawaying:

I really love Europe, especially France, and want to spend more time there, with like minded people, which I hope will inspire and encourage me to take the leap to move one day! In return, I love offering my skills, taking on a project, sharing meals, skills, stories and ideas; doing something worthwhile and purposeful with my time - to keep motivated, fit and inspired by the places I go and people I meet.

- - - - -

My (occasional) online work:

I would love to find a Workaway where I can also do some of my own online work on the occasional afternoon, or when your project permits.
