Description

Traveling is not about the places you visit but about the people you meet along the way!

My family and I have been WorkAway Host for three years now (and we love it) so when I started to plan a new adventure (solo trip) in Slovenia in 2024 it was natural for me to think of becoming a WorkAwayer myself . 2024 was fantastic! For 2025, I want to do the same but with my son Éloi who is 15 years old and a real traveller!

We are going to Italy to trek the Dolomites (and hopefully other national parks) but we also want to experience a more authentic experience for the other half of our trip. We travelled a lot and for us staying with people, sharing daily life and helping/learning from each other (and hopefully develop friendship) is really the best way to travel.

We are french Canadian (fluent in french and english with a "charming?" accent in both!).

I work as a university teacher (contractual teaching: team management, communication, change management etc.) in a small rural town in Québec, Canada. Busy mother of three boys (teenager of 12, 15 and 17) I have (still!) a lot of energy and good organization skills, I always have a lot of projects and ideas. I love mountains, rural life, wilderness but I'm also a very social person. I like long trekking, snowshoeing, camping, backcountry skiing, painting, kayaking, fishing and picking up mushrooms.

Éloi love fishing, skiing, photographing, trekking and mountain bike.

We cannot do a long term stay but we proved many time that we adapt very very quickly.We are easy going and you won't have to ask us to do our share of work (personaly I like when workawayer see the things and that I don't always have to ask, "can you help me with this or that"... ).

We are talkative, and like to laugh as much as possible. We like people but we can also be very independent and organize our own things according to what's happening (go with the flow!).

We don't like to be on our phone (most of the time I don't know where is mine). We want to live the present and feel it with our feet and hands.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

Renovation skills: my partner and I renovated an old abandoned house (200 years old), a bungalow, and recently bought a very big land and builted a remoted cabin off grid. During building I am normally in charge of design, planning, sanding, painting (and cooking!). I can use power tools with a light coaching.

Creativity: I have a good sense of design: i have a lot of experience in painting (walls or artistic murals), restoring old furnitures and I love upcycling old materials like barn woods.

Land maintenance and gardening: I love to maintain forest trails on my land, but I am learning (I have not the knowledge but I love it!). At home I have a good knowledge of wild herbs, mushrooms and plants. I am really patient and hard working and I can do fruit picking and gardening (removing weeds etc.)

Cooking: I can cook for an army or almost (don't expect typical canadian dish as I am more in asian, indian, thai food...).

Animals: I am born in a small farm and I love taking care of animals
