  • Description

    Hello ! After years of traveling throughout Europe, I'm beginning my first international adventure in New Zealand, a childhood dream ! I hope to be able to spend the year exploring both islands.

    I grew up in the countryside of France, so I'm used to farm work and animals. At home I have sheeps, a donkey and horses, as well as dogs and a cat. I've also had many jobs in my life: postman, nanny, french & english teacher, waitress, sales assistant ... So learning new skills doesn't scare me at all. On the contrary, this is my way of living since few years and I enjoy discovering different environments.

    I like to travel slowly and learn skills that make sense to me. I'm not much of a 4-star hotel person, preferring action and adventure. I love hiking, climbing and all kinds of outdoor activities, which is why I've chosen to go to NZ.
    I love to get my hands dirty and do manual work ! Overall, the most important thing for me is that I deeply enjoy learning new things from passionate people.

    With the woofing experience, I'd particularly like to work on farms and gardens, if possible in contact with animals (love them). As a worthy heiress of my French culture, I'd also love to work in the wine industry. As you may have guessed from my description, I can easily adapt to a new environment and am pretty versatile.

    I'm fluent in english and I have a B2 level of spanish. And I can teach you some French if you want !

    I hope you've enjoyed my description, and that I'll be able to find some great woofings soon! See you !

    More details about my language interests
    I started traveling at a young age and was able to learn English as the years went by. Back in France, I gave lessons to children. During my au pair experience in Sweden, I also helped children learn French. I lived for two years in Spain (Madrid and Granada) and I also know Spanish.

  • What else ...

    I have many hobbies, I love outdoor sports, and I'm particularly fond of climbing! I also love reading and playing board games. I'm currently trying my hand at watercolor painting - it's not great, but it makes me relax and have a great time! Spending time with animals also does me a lot of good.
