Descrição

Hi there!
I’m an adventurous and sociable traveller currently on a two-month journey around Australia. Originally from France, I now live in the UK, where I work as an ecologist. My goal in Australia is to immerse myself in the incredible landscapes of Queensland, connect with new people, and contribute to local projects while soaking in the culture, spotting wildlife, and enjoying outdoor adventures.

What I Bring to Your Project
I’m enthusiastic, and hands on on all projects, and I’ve built up a variety of skills over the years that I’d love to share:

🛠️ DIY and Practical Help
Experience restoring two homes, including painting, tiling, and general repairs.
Built two guest cabins (largely from recoop), so I’m handy with tools and happy to help with woodworking or small construction tasks.
🌱 Gardening and Outdoor Work
A competent gardener from a year employed as a wildlife gardener in Scotland. Comfortable with weeding, planting, and general garden maintenance.
Passionate about creating spaces that encourage biodiversity—whether it’s building birdhouses or planting native flowers.
🧸 Childminding
Energetic, patient, and great with kids! I’ve looked after children as a uni job, in family and friend circles and enjoy creative activities, outdoor play.
🍳 Cooking
I love cooking for others and can whip up delicious meals, especially inspired by my French roots. I’m always excited to share recipes or learn new ones.
🦜 Wildlife Enthusiast
With my background working in ecology, I’m always thrilled to spot and identify wildlife, particularly birds and plants. Happy to share knowledge or help set up eco-friendly projects.

My Interests
When I’m not lending a hand, I enjoy:

Hiking & Outdoor Sports: Exploring mountains, climbing, and cycling are my happy places.
Birdwatching & Botany: A lifelong passion that shapes how I see the world.
Reading: From travel journals to modern classics, I always have a book on the go.

Why I’m on Workaway

I see Workaway as an amazing way to exchange skills and learn something new while connecting with like-minded hosts. Whether you need help with DIY projects, gardening, or childcare—or just someone to cook a hearty meal—I’d love to contribute to your home or project.

If you’re after a hands-on helper with a passion for nature and a love of connecting with people, I’d be thrilled to hear from you
