    About Antoine:
    I would describe myself as an Environmentally-Friendly, humanist, joyful, and adaptative person.

    I try to be as creative and innovative as possible. I like to create activities, DIY, party themes...
    I love meeting and interact with new unknown people
    I'm passionate for Frisbee, nature, multicultural people, music and board sports. I want to discover new lifestyles, try a new job and discover myself along the way. I have little experiences in nature camps, I worked for a canyoning guide, and in a treetop adventure course company.
    When I work, I am involved
    I can adapt to situations
    I can deal with stress,
    If it's required, I can be fast and efficient
    I'm fit and I feel physically strong

    About Penelope :
    With a master's degree in ecology and ethology, I am comfortable and passionate about nature and especially animals.
    Moreover, I was raised in the countryside, where I grew up with dogs and cats.
    I was used to walking my neighbours' dogs 🥰 and we had a cat for many years.
    I was in a family who made his gardening for vegetables, but I don't have a green hand yet and that was something I would like to learn.

    On another hand, I did another master's degree in teaching, and I was a high school biology & Earth teacher. After that I changed to be more specialised in education, and became principal education advisor.
    So, I have facilities and interests taking care of teenagers.
    For the moment, I ask for a year off because I want to see outside the institution or National Education.
    I had a first experience in bakery sale, where I enjoyed the customers service where I was natural.
    But, one dream of mine was to travel all around the world, living for a moment in an english country, to perfect my english skills.
    About that, I have an intermediate level in english, but I am a bit shy and stressed at the first contact, so I want to immerge myself to become fluent in english.
    On personal hobbies: I am very creative and artistic. I am passionate about writing, what's more I love writing stories, and I have a project of fantasy book.
    I also tried water painting which I loved.
    I am very curious and love to try news activities, often learning by myself.
    At home I like to repair things if it needed (we succeeded to save our dishwasher by ourselves 😂).
    And I'm particularly good in IT, for example to fix cumputer issues, to improve my daily use of tech.

    Also I love dancing, I made several year of classic, modern jazz and contemporary. And rock'n'roll (that's where we met each other 🥰)
    I really like listening music, the style depends on my humor.
    Since few years I have opened myself to spirituality. I like practicing yoga and meditation.
    I do cartomancy and reiki myself, and It would be a pleasure to share.
    I am particularly passionate about human psychology, and as I'm very talkative, I love to discuss about life, personal development and thinks about things 😂

    About Us :
    We want to volounteer to meet people, connect with locals, share our cultures, improve our langage skills and learn knew things by doing manual activities.
    It would also be a pleasure to teach you French if you are interested ^^
    We want to be helpful, and sharing in a family or community.
    We love meeting new people. That's our main reason of travelling.
