Description
Hello there!
My name is Barbara, I'm 35 years old, originally from France, but I have been living in Belgium for 10 years. I'm a journalist. I love meeting people, talking to them, learning about their daily lives, their passions, their beliefs, their motivations. I love writing stories about the wonderful people and places I discover.
Recently, I've decided to work less and find more time for myself, to travel and to explore the world around me.
In the year 2022 I did a year-long bicycle trip through Europe, Morocco and Turkey. I enjoyed it a lot, but now I would like to spend more time in the same area and to take the time to deepen my relationship with the people I meet.
I'll have a few months off here and there over the next year.Interests

I want to learn more about how I can reduce my impact on the planet and I'm very interested in all environmental issues.
I also have a very good connection with animals.
I'm quite strong and able to work hard, although I don't have any specific manual skills. I own a small old stone house in my country. I've done some renovation work inside: tiling the walls, painting them with natural colours, building furniture for my kitchen with the help of a friend. I also have some basic knowledge of bicycle mechanic.
I am also very sporty. I enjoy cycling (road and touring), running and swimming. I'm practicing triathlon.
I hope that we can find some common interests and that we can be helpful to each other!Age

Saying goodbye to this tranquil haven, where I've spent two peaceful weeks surrounded by nature, animals, and kind souls, gave me a twinge in my heart. Alberto and I quickly became friends and accomplices. Our days were filled with laughter, delightful meals (Alberto is a great cook; brace yourself for a tiramisu indigestion!) and… read more
