Description
Hi ! I am Florian, I was born in Mulhouse (Alsace, France). I am an adventurous person who loves to meet new people and learn new things.

My interests: permaculture, biological and self-sufficient places), farming/gardening (love flowers, and taking care of animals) , learning new languages, cultures, architectures (DIY buildings, ecological, tiny houses), hiking in nature, culture & gay culture, and so many others...
I am also an urban guy who enjoy culture (theatre, exhibition, danse), and underground culture.

Short facts
* I started a year travel in February 2021: did several workaway experiences since then (ecological guest houses/farms where I built fences & dry stone walls ; made renovation (painting, cleaning, took care of animals...) ; general maintenance ; assisting a reindeer-herder (quite unusual ;)) ; housekeeping...)
*In 2016, I bagpacked in South-East Asia for 8 months.
*I had several Workaway experiences in France, Spain, Sweden, Malaysia and Vietnam, in farms (Olives farms, Flower farm, regular ones); in guesthouses or in individual homes :)

I like peaceful moments where we can play cards or yahtzee, long night talking about life, love, nature... I also like sharing moments (cooking meals together etc).
But I can also entertain myself quite easily with a book or personal projects.

Laissé par l'hôte pour le workawayer (Florian)

Florian arrived as one of our first workawayers, and we are so glad that we invited him into our home. Florian arrived with Andrew as our first two workawayers and was not only one of our best workers but also very quickly became a friend.
He originally planned to stay for three weeks but we very quickly asked him to stay for longer which he did… read more after honouring a previously agreed workaway commitment in France, before returning to us two weeks later to begin building a dry stone wall.

Florian has a very positive outlook, and can be trusted to work on whatever project you give him and often spent extra time after tasks were finished, clearing up or helping generally around the house. Always with a smile, we could rely on Florian to pay attention to detail and understood that we wanted jobs to be done properly rather than rushing them, and finished everything exactly as we wanted.
This included building most of dry-stone wall in the way that we wanted, whilst putting up with every passing local giving advice on the correct way to position a rock!
Florian also spent at least 2 or 3 days with an angle grinder, covered head to toe in grey stone dust cutting through paving and stones and concrete. He wanted to get the job finished so during this project would work beyond the required hours.
He also helped laying a footpath through the grass in the courtyard, cutting the olive trees, cleaning, daily food preparation and clearing up, painting and decorating, and cat brushing sessions.

Lots of attention to detail in keeping things clean, we always knew the dishes would be cleaned to almost sterile standards! He is also an awesome supermarket bag packer, and likes to organise this very precisely 😉

His English is excellent, and is willing to teach French, and help with complicated French telephone calls and conversations with the numerous ‘Patricks’ that we needed to converse with, when our French occasionally failed!

Florian takes work tasks very seriously but has a great sense of fun, and appreciated our sometimes-British sense of humour. Most of all, Florian took on any jobs we asked of him, and became a real part of our family.
We had great fun with him on our outings into the Luberon countryside and beyond including wine tasting and eating out as restaurants reopened.

We cannot recommend Florian highly enough, and we hope that we will be able to call him our friend for many years to come and would welcome him back anytime - to finish the wonky wall 😉 or just to have a drink with us.

If you are looking for nice, welcoming and fun hosts, this place is for you. Nicola and Andrew are great, very kind, fun and willing to help you discover the places around the Luberon. They enjoy having people to share food, wine and moments with (I will miss our cocktails nights).

Spending 3 weeks with Gaëlle’s family was amazing. There is a lot of positivity and good energy in this farm. All the family members are nice, open-minded and open to conversations. It was as easy to joke with them or to have deep conversations. I felt really comfortable to share my thoughts and personal life without any reservations.

It was a real delight to have Florian over, from day one he radiated so much positive energy that it embellished everyday life with a bunch of people that worked together for several weeks.

Basti, Sebo, I have nothing but good things to say about the week we spent together and with the rest of the group. Someone said in your profile’s comments section, that you are a shinning example of what Workaway should be, and I couldn’t agree more. I have not experienced a place where the hosts are as attentive to somebody’s needs as you do. I… read more

Thank you Marco for gaving me the chance to share your daily life on the farm during the winter time, just before Christmas. I really enjoyed my stay (10days). It was nice to share moments with you and your friends.

My experience here was really enjoyable. He always pays attention to your needs, he is an honest man. His place is clean even if it's quite rustic. Wes need more time and help to improve it, but in few months it will be more comfortable. (Winter time is a tuff season because of the lack of curent water and electricity) .
