Description

Hello!

My name is Noemie and if you are reading these words it means perhaps we are going to meet in the future!

In April 2026 I plan to bring my goddaughter Charlotte for her first adventure abroad. She is 16 years old and through the years we lived many beautiful small adventure together. The last one was a two days bicycle trip in Brittany.

She turned 16 last June. I was 16 the first time I left my family to come to Ireland where I lived for a year — my last year of high school. It was 15 years ago and I never had the chance to come back to Ireland. This adventure I plan with Charlotte is for me a way to share with her what was such a great experience when I was her age: to discover Ireland.

However, what I want to share with her is not only a tourist experience. Through the years I discovered several places with Workaway: for me it is a way of meeting people and their culture.

That is what I would like to make her discover for her first travel abroad.

We will travel two weeks together: the time of the school holidays. For the first 3 days, we plan to sleep in my car and do some hiking. We plan to end our trip the same way. In between, for a week, we would love to join some host and share our energy and help.


Charlotte love to take care of animals, she is part of a non profit riding school and knows how to take care of ponies. She is also a great mountain cyclist and enjoy a lot being outside. She studies in and high school specialised in agriculture and environment and she is very interested in plants.

In my three previous volunteering experiences, I liked working outsides and take care of plants and animals. The first one took place in Norway. I volunteered with my boyfriend Theo at Eva’s place: a house in a small island above the arctic circle. We worked in the garden, painted a roof, took care of Eva’s dog, cat and hens. I loved the wonderful setting where we lived, by the water. We shared loads of great time sharing delicious meals that we’ve had cooked together. Eva made her own bread and we helped her with it. In fall 2021 I’ve volunteered for ten days in Switzerland, via "woofing", with a producer of herbal tea. I enjoyed being in the mountains and helping compose the herbal tea bags.

Last summer, in June and July 2025, I travelled by myself in Sweden. I lived for nearly four weeks at Eka, a wonderful collective farm in South Sweden. There I helped taking care of the place, gardening, cooking for the group, organising story night.

About myself


I grew up in a small town attached to traditional danse and music and leaded by a strong spirit of solidarity. Each year was paced by several parties. My favorite was the solstice’s one, with the Saint Jean’s fire. I like talking by the bonfires, sharing good meals, warm places ; I like hiking, contemplate landscapes, reading, playing boardgames and telling stories.

By the way, part of my job is to be a storyteller: I would be pleased to discover some of Irish legends and share to you some of my traditional stories.

What more to say?
I’m part of militant self-managed choir, and I like singing with others, no matter if it's not always in tune :)

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I like working outdoor, I don’t have a lot of special technical skills but various basic knowledge and a thirst for learning new skills. I’m able to do some painting, I enjoy cooking, making bread. I've done basketwork several time in my life and I love wicker work (even if I'm still a beginner!).

Having lived my childhood in countryside, I’m used to general house maintenance, home improvement and gardening. I grew up with donkeys, sheep and hens. Where I live now, I volunteer in a non-profit organization that own eight cows: we take care of them together. I especially like cats: if it happens that you live with one cat (or more!) I would be pleased of their company.

I’m rather fluent in English, and try to learn some words in Swedish. I love telling stories and tales.

Autres infos...

In my everyday’s life, I try to reduce my consumption, I buy local food and even if I have no special diet, I'm interested in reducing my consumption of meat.

I’m adaptable, I lived with housmates and in host families in Ireland (for a year) and Quebec (for a month).

I like outdoor activities (hiking, canoeing…), I love sauna and I like to share a good time around a board game or chatting…
