Profile Information

What is your previous experience with Organic Agriculture and Sustainable Development?
In 2014 I spent 2 months as volunteer at the Wild Life Habitat (environment protection center). I was in charge to feed animals, clean the enclosures, carry on the center and welcome the visitors. We also have been grape harvesting in Champagne region for 2 weeks last year together. It was our first experience together and that was very interesting, rewarding, funny and that allowed us to be in touch with the nature and to discover the production of the wine.
What are your reasons for joining WWOOF Mexico?
Learning about sustainable living and agriculture, Getting to know Mexico better
What do you want the farms and fellow WWOOFers to know about you?
We are a French couple living in the Parisian suburb. We have a mutual feeling: travel, discover new cultures and exchange with people who makes them live. We have already travelled together (France, Morocco, Netherlands, Malta...) but only for holidays. Today we would like to discover Latin America, this place attract us. We feel ready to get away of our daily routine and give the best of ourselves to people who need. We wish learn and extend our skills and share what we know to re-use it in the future and relay it to our children. We start step by step to change our habits, consume healthfully to get a more natural way of life in accordance with our planet. We are open-minded, resourceful, motivated and respectful. Together, we have a work ethic, we are adaptable persons. We think that best way of discover a new place is to know peoples who living there. By volunteering, we would like to help everyone the best we can, and we hope to get a real opportunity to integrate local life. We are proud to make part of something good. We take our responsibilities with love and always will do the best to represent the welcoming place. We love to cook, art (music, literature, movies…), nature, share time with our families, discover new places and live adventures.

Today we both are decided to travel, discover the world, work and learn more about ourselves. By moving out, we hope to find peace and freedom but, above all, connect with people, exchange and help each other. 
We love to cook, listen to music and dance, spend time outside and visit new places. We spent 1 month in Morocco traveling last year and moved several times in France and Europe. 

We really want to learn about nature, plants and species because our dream is to have our own garden full of healthy food one day. We think permaculture is the future of the land and we want to know about it. We are not afraid to work hard. We are responsive and sensitive to the property of the natural environments and would be happy to help for a good cause of our planet.

Little description of us :

Alex : After high school, I lived in London for 6 months where I worked as kitchen-helper and waiter in a restaurant. I learned rigor, English and met a lot of people from different nationalities. This experience helped me a lot to manage my independence and my new life away from my habits and family.
Back to Paris I worked in many places (furniture/clothing sale, barman, delivery man…). In 2014 I spent 2 months as volunteer at the Wild Life Habitat (environment protection center). I was in charge to feed animals, clean the enclosures, carry on the center and welcome the visitors.

In the same time, I write and record rap/reggae songs. I already got 3 albums released and made several shows alone or with my band. I love languages and am at ease with French and English. I always wanted to learn Spanish and this trip to Latin America will finally give it to me. I am looking for new experiences, learn about nature (that I don’t see much in big cities…), about a continent, the people who live on it and also about me. I want to help, share, exchange and support a noble cause, humans and the planet, feel the roots and origins of existence.

Maïté : I have started studying in early childhood, I did a lot of internship then I have worked in summer camp or leisure center during summer holiday. Next, I specialized in tourism where I worked during 2 years at reception of a campsite. I can handle reservations, visitors and many things with responsibility. Afterwards, I left in England 8 months to help a family house, cleaning, cooking, baby-sitting, food-shopping and more. My goal in this experience was to learn English. This was my first travel alone and now I would like to leave again to learn and give of myself!
I finally obtained an animation diploma specialized in vacation clubs. I did 2 six months seasons: first one in South of France and second one in Malta.

I also did other jobs in horticulture, mounting, retirement home, reception, catering. I love to see behind the scenes and learn about everything. I am resourceful and I learn fast. 
So, if you like one of my abilities, it is with pleasure that I help.
I love to be outside, walk, create, cook, invent. I would like learn on plants, medical, fruits because I want to create my vegetable garden one day and may give to my children.
