Description

Hello, my name is Sylvie, I am originally from France and currently living in Brussels, Belgium. I am 58 years old.
I speak French as my native language, I am fluent in Italian, and I have a basic level of English : i can communicate and I am always willing to improve.
I'm looking for experiences in a beautiful and inspiring environment, close to nature, or in a place with a warm, creative, and positive atmosphere. I would be delighted to share enriching moments and contribute meaningfully.
I have a professional background in accounting and marketing, and I am a reliable, organized and responsible person. I adapt easily to new environments and I enjoy being part of a team.
In my free time, I am very creative: I enjoy drawing, arts and crafts, and I sometimes organize small creative workshops for children. I also practice crochet and knitting, and I volunteer by making small octopuses for premature babies in hospitals.
I love nature very much. I followed a nature guide training and I regularly participate in nature walks, including birdwatching groups. I also enjoy outdoor activities like sailing.
I am very comfortable in cold environments and I especially love Scandinavia, particularly Norway and the Lofoten Islands, where I travel regularly. I also love animals and have experience with outdoor life.
I am happy to help with tasks such as light gardening, creative activities, organizing, helping with children, animals, or general daily tasks. I am very motivated.
I am currently available for stays of about one month (or a few weeks) , and I am open to opportunities in Norway, Sweden, Iceland, France, Italy and Spain.
I would be happy to contribute to your project and share a positive experience together!

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Green fingers and a creative ...)

I had the most wonderful three weeks with Synnove and Jens! This was my very first Workaway experience, and honestly, I couldn’t have dreamed of a better one. From the very beginning, I felt incredibly welcome and completely at home. Synnove and Jens are such lovely, kind and caring people, and their warmth and generosity made my stay truly … read more special.

One of the highlights was definitely the food! Jens is an amazing cook and prepared delicious and varied meals every day. Sitting around the table, sharing good food and conversations with them was always such a pleasure. I really loved these moments of togetherness and having the chance to share a little part of their everyday life. They are both very thoughtful and attentive people who genuinely enjoy making others feel good and taking care of them.
There were three workawayers during my stay: myself and a lovely couple, Mercé and Elias. We quickly became friends and shared so many great moments together (thanks you Mercé and Elias) . They definitely played a big part in making my stay such a happy and memorable experience.
The place itself is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature and stunning landscapes. There is something incredibly peaceful and joyful about this place. It is the kind of environment where you can truly slow down, breathe, reconnect with nature and enjoy the simple things.

Our work mainly involved gardening: weeding, maintaining the surroundings and taking care of the different flower beds. We also painted a wall and rebuilt some fences using branches and vines that we collected ourselves in the forest. I really enjoyed this kind of hands-on work. There is something incredibly satisfying about creating or rebuilding something with your own hands and then seeing the finished result.
We worked four hours each morning, always in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. The work was enjoyable, varied and genuinely rewarding, and I loved seeing the progress we made together.
And for anyone who loves creativity, this place is a dream! There is a huge workshop filled with all kinds of tools and materials, giving you everything you need to build, create and let your imagination run wild. I had so much fun working on little creative projects during my free time. Together with Mercé and Elias, I also had the chance to build a wooden character for the garden, which was such a fun and memorable project.
Synnove also took the time to show us around and introduce us to the beautiful area. We went to the seaside together, visited the Viking museum, discovered charming little villages nearby and explored a beautiful nature reserve not far from Baelum. She would also let us know whenever she was going into town, so we could sometimes join her during our free time. It was such a lovely way to discover the surroundings and make the most of our stay.

What I especially loved about staying with Synnove and Jens is that it truly feels like a genuine exchange. It is not simply about coming somewhere to work — it is about sharing, connecting, spending time together and becoming part of everyday life. There is such a wonderful sense of hospitality, kindness and togetherness in their home.
I came home with my heart full of positive energy and so many beautiful memories. This experience gave me much more than I expected, and I know I will never forget these three weeks.
Thank you so much, Synnove and Jens, for your kindness, generosity and hospitality, and for making my very first Workaway experience such a fantastic one. I feel truly grateful to have met you both. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying with them — and I would happily come back anytime!
