Currently in southern France, my boyfriend and I are hoping to spend the summer in Switzerland. We'd like to combine garden/farm work with hiking. Give us a shout if interested!

Hi, my name is Renee and I've joined Workaway because I'd like to experience living and working in different places outside of my native country (teeny-tiny Denmark). I'm workaway'ing with my boyfriend Stefan (https://www.workaway.info/en/workawayer/stefan333/overview), so when you're looking for one workaway, in this case you'll get two!
I've been east and west, lived in Berlin and Kathmandu, and am currently in southern France. I have a BA in Tibetan Studies and I speak three languages fluently (Danish, English and German).
As a workawayer I can offer two green thumbs. I grew up helping my parents in their big garden and therefore I have experience in preparing garden beds, sowing, planting, weeding, watering, grass mowing, harvesting - and I know how to chop wood without hurting myself.
I like working outdoors and with my boyfriend we make a good garden team: he handles the power tools and heavier tasks, while I tend to the finer details of care and finishing. I have a little experience in pruning fruit trees and roses - something I would love to expand on!
I also know my way around a household. I can do light renovation work like painting. I have some experience using a sewing machine making things like pillow covers and curtains. I'm tidy and good at sorting, organizing, and de-cluttering. I've worked two seasons for a summer house rental company in Denmark, cleaning and checking up on summer houses in between rentals. I enjoy cooking and baking, and feel comfortable cooking for groups.
When I work, I'm effective, focused, and thorough, and I have an eye for details.
With the summer coming, I'm hoping to be helpful in someone's garden or at someone's farm and pick up a few more skills along the way!Centres d’intérêt

Autres infos...
I'm a bit more of an introvert than I am an extrovert and I prefer the nature to the city. Coming from a relatively flat country, I like going hiking in the mountains and if I won the lottery, I would become a paraglider.
