Australia - desde Jun 2023 até Jun 2024 Ver tudoDescrição
[English text below] Nous aimons découvrir de nouvelles cultures, de nouveaux métiers, de nouveaux-savoirs faire ( par exemple Elisabeth a été ravie d'avoir la chance d'être en Workaway juste au moment de la tonte des moutons en Nouvelle-Zélande, cette expérience reste un super souvenir gravé dans sa mémoire).
Nous aimons passer du temps à l'extérieur et admirer les paysages, regarder la nature évoluer au fil des saisons, surtout quand on ne se fait pas attaquer par une horde de moustiques :) On a récemment eu l'occasion d'aller au Pérou, ou les paysages et constructions nous ont coupé le souffle.
John fait beaucoup de vélo et dans sa jeunesse il a été champion d'Irlande d'aviron, il est donc plutôt robuste et a une très bonne condition physique, pour couronner le tout il est ingénieur de formation et a donc un esprit logique et aime essayer de réparer ou construire toute sorte de trucs et particulièrement avec de la résine.
Elisabeth apprécie beaucoup les blagues de toutes sortes, surtout quand je les comprends :) Je suis de nature sociable et ai généralement le contact facile
John est vraiment très très agréable, tout le monde l'apprécie, il es prompt à rendre service et est souvent partant pour n'importe quelle activité qu'il fera dans la bonne humeur.
Elisabeth est habituée à la vie en commun ayant habité avec 6 personnes ou plus depuis mes 18 ans, je suis respectueuse de l'espace dont chacun à besoin et je fais ma part dans les tâches. J'aime bien raconter ma journée, écouter la journée des autres et avoir toute sorte de discussion autour d'une tasse de thé ( on dit de moi que je suis intarissable en anecdotes ).
Elisabeth est Belge et assez contente de l'être, c'est un pays trilingue ( français, allemand, néerlandais) et je suis originaire des cantons de l'est en Belgique ( j'ai appris qu'il y avait aussi des cantons de l'est au canada !). J'adore notre roi Philippe que je trouve adorable, ce qui amuse pas mal mes amis car en général tout le monde s'en fiche du roi. Les belges sont réputés avoir beaucoup d'auto-dérision et apprécier l'humour absurde. Je serais très heureuse de vous en apprendre plus sur mon petit royaume et ma culture et j'ai vraiment super hâte d'en apprendre plus sur la culture québécoise !!
Je suis prête a essayer toute sorte de tâches, aussi bien agricole (j'ai déjà un peu aider une amie maraichère un été) que de bricolage, tâches ménagères ou aide avec des enfants.
Au plaisir d'échanger avec vous !!
Just to open with a perfectly generic statement, we are always open to new experiences, cultures and jobs. A slightly less generic example of this mindset is the fond memory that Elisabeth has of helping out during sheep shearing season in New Zealand the last time she did a Workaway!
Having travelled around Europe and Peru together, we have had the good fortune to see some stunning sights. Although we often refer to ourselves in the first person plural, we come from different cultural backgrounds which has made for interesting company (at least for each other..!). Elisabeth is from the far East of the little kingdom of Belgium and is proud of King Philippe as she finds him adorable. John is Irish by birth and is an aspiring Belgian. He has a good bit of cycling under his belt and was a senior rowing champion of Ireland in his youth so remains a bit cracked and up for physical labour. An engineer by training, he also enjoys rolling up his sleeves and diving into all sorts of problems (particularly tinkering with bicycles).
Elisabeth may be Belgian, but she has what in Ireland is called "the gift of the gab", loving jokes, talking about her day, listening to others talking about theirs and just telling stories in general over a cup of tea. She loves absurd humour, is always ready for laughter and cultural exchange. We both enjoy diving into whatever activity needs doing and getting our hands dirty (often literally as when we helped a farmer friend sow and harvest on her permaculture plot near the Swiss border in France).
We look forward to getting to know and work with you!Interesses

While they were at our home they assisted with removal of a farm fence, pruned some fruit trees, and helped me with the computer.
They cleaned up after themselves and were very easy to get along with.
