Description
I'm 23 yo, I'm French and I'm currently travelling around Canada. During this year of travelling I would like to improve my English, discover new cultures and learn new things as much as I can! I'm a very willing and rigorous person in my work and I like to discover and learn new things. I know and I'm used to adapt to many situations and it's something that doesn't bother me, on the oppostie I find it enriching. I have a cheerful nature and I tend to be in a good mood a lot! My previous trips have given me a taste for discovering new cultures and new ways of life. Moreover, since I was 16 yo, I have been used to working in the fields at my family farm. I'm therefore naturally very motivated to travel, not only to acquire language skills in English but also to learn more about cultures and work experiences.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
I'm currently studing for my Master’s Degree in agronomy, I already did one of the two years that I have to do to obtain my degree. I took a gap year and I'm travelling since October 2022 and I plan to coming back to France, for my studies, in September 2023. I'm interested in developing my English language skills and my professional expertise. Since I was 16 yo, I have been used to working in the fields at my family farm. Then, during my studies I realized 3 internships as a laboratory technician in biology, several months each. I have been used to working since I was young and I have learned a lot of rigor in my different jobs, both agricultural and laboratory.

Since I’m 6 yo I ride horses, I have done for several years jumping competitions. I have two horses (and also dogs and cats) at home, which I ride more in trails in the mountains and forests around my house due to lack of time caused by school. I'm passionate about horses, animals and nature in general, I like to be in the open air, in contact with living beings. I run, I hike, and I love outdoor sports!

Laissé par le workawayer (Naïs) pour l'hôte (Learn about organic methods ...)

Mike, Anja, and the entire family, including Ach and Ava, Fritzy and Baby the dogs, along with Freezy and Emma the cats, are wonderful. Thanks to them, my experience was incredible! I arrived at the Farm at the end of April and stayed for two and a half months until the beginning of July. I also returned for a couple of days in September right… read more before flying back to France to say goodbye (at least for this year) to everyone.

I was fortunate enough to experience the farm at the very start of the season with fewer than 8 other Workawayers/Wwoofers and then during the busy period with around 20 people! So, I can say that both experiences were great and unforgettable in their own ways. I sincerely hope you get to experience both! Every week, often on several days, we all joined in the "Bugnet" for themed evenings, karaoke, movie nights, game nights, beer pong, and much more. The Bugnet is fitted with sofas, tables, and a large roll-down screen for the video projector. There’s also a karaoke machine and a beer tap! It’s a remarkable place where we meet at any hour of the day for any reason, but it's especially wonderful because Mike and Anja always ensure we have everything we need. I felt at home the moment I set foot in the house. My time with this family, as well as with all the people who passed through this place, was lovely. It's a place where people from all around the world meet (Germans, Australians, Belgians, Scots, Spaniards, Japanese, Mexicans, Americans, French, etc.), and I found that incredibly enriching.

The work hours are well respected, and then you have plenty of time off, mostly during the afternoons and the entire weekends. There are many bicycles available for use, and the nearest town Oliver is just a 15-minute bike ride away. There's a lovely river next to the farm where everyone goes to cool off after the 5-hour workday, which is absolutely delightful! As for the work itself, it varies a lot, you won’t have time to get bored! Depending on the time of the season, but it often includes picking various vegetables and fruits, weeding, washing lettuce, and much more! If you're interested in learning about organic farming, this is the perfect place. Even if you’re a complete beginner, everyone here takes the time to explain whatever you wish to know!

I could never fully express in a short text how much this experience has given me, but I recommend this place more than 100% to anyone interested in meeting people and spending time with nature!

Sending all my love to Mike and Anja again, and to the entire family.
