Descrição
Hi there!
My name is Marion, I'm 33 and currently looking for a way in life ;)
After nearly 5 years of working in the luxurious watchmaking industry I realised that I wasn't feeling comfortable with this career path, I needed to do something more meaningful. So I decided to take some gap years to work on my self-improvement/growth by exploring new things and places, spending some time doing things that I like or want to learn/share, meeting new people from other cultures and with different life experiences.
To me there is no better way to do those things than travelling and helping the people you meet in the process. That's why, 5 years ago I chose to try the workaway experience. And I loved it! I spent an amazing year in NZ helping with a bit of everything: from house keeping to painting, animal care, gardening (weeding, planting trees/veggies..), cooking, organising rooms, building a tiny house, doing arts and crafts, being an Au pair, etc... Then, same kind of things in Australia for 2 years before I had to come back home..
I might still be a newbie in some of the work I'm applying for but I'm eager to help and learn new skills and don't mind getting my hands dirty! ;)
I'm interested in trying different ways of living/working to broaden my horizons and I'm open for nearly every kind of work! :) Especially in eco-friendly building and organic farming, as I hope one day to be able to live in a semi self-sufficient and ecological lifestyle.

I'm calm, easy-going, reliable and a good listener.

Nous avons passé de super moments avec Marion ! Toujours prête à aider, très à l’aise avec notre petit (jusqu’à en écouter en boucle le même disque chaque matin, il en fallait du courage), et toujours de bons conseils
Calme mais motivée pour tout, ça a été un plaisir de se lancer dans tous ces chantiers avec toi
Reviens quand tu veux ! ;-)

I was lucky enough to spend 2½ weeks with Elizabeth and her little jack Russel Fudge. The help needed was quite varied (from cooking to gardening or decorating) and Elizabeth is quite flexible and laid back.
Very welcoming too so it was a great pleasure to spent time with her and with her friend/ workaway Andy for the second half of my stay.

A hard working, gentle lady who was always willing to do her best and learn more. Marion was with us for three weeks and turned her hand to whatever we needed her to do. She has a great work ethic and takes initiative. Lovely opportunity to meet a delightful Workawayer. Thank you Marion.

Marion was a pleasure to host. We really enjoyed her enthusiasm and work ethic. Was always very proactive and we had to remind her to take days off and stop working. Capable of doing anything we asked and went over and above on everything. She has a creative mind and is very clever with her artwork. Welcome back anytime ;-)

I wish you all the best.

We found Marion to be trustworthy with our baby and she's a keen observer and quick learner. She took her work seriously and was reliable. Marion has knowledge in all kind of areas and it was interesting learning from her about sprouting seeds and the use of essential oils. She cooks the most delicious ratatouille ever! All the best!
