Beschreibung
I enjoy living with locals, discovering new places and learning new languages.
I started living abroad as an au pair. Then, I took part in the Erasmus+ programme, which allowed me to live in a Slovakian village for a year. There, we organised extracurricular activities for the village children and teenagers. More recently, I obtained a working holiday visa, which allowed me to discover New Zealand for a year. I used the HelpX website (same principle as Workaway) a lot to help locals for short periods and discover their daily lives.
* I studied law and I have a master degree.
* I was au pair several times in different countries :
- Germany (one year)
- Austria (one year)
- Italy (two summers)
- Greece (two summers)
- NZ (four months)
TASKS : homework, light housework, babysitting, teaching French, various in and outdoor activities.
* I did an European Voluntary Service for one year in Slovakia where I worked with Roma kids (craft, sport, theater, organization of events, cooking classes).

Languages are a gateway to other people. I started learning German at primary school, then English at secondary school, and these two languages have enabled me not only to travel, but also to forge strong bonds with local people. I believe that language awareness is important from an early age and that it should be taught in a fun way. It is also essential to be supportive when teaching a language so that learners feel confident enough to practice it, even if they make mistakes at first.
