Beschreibung

Hello ! I am a French girl traveling, freelancing and volunteering around the world.
I was born in France, but I have been living in Switzerland since 2019.

I am friendly, open minded, fun, easy to live/ work with and very reliable. I can do pretty much everything regarding help/volunteer and I am always happy to meet new people.
I am very interested in projects related to sustainability, permaculture, women empowerment, children education, animals welfare and more specifically marine life conservation.

UPDATE : Due to COVID situation, I am not traveling at the moment, but I would be happy to join projects in Switzerland ! Don't hesitate to write me if you need any help for your projects :)

More about myself :
In June 2016, I decided to quit my job to pursue my dream : Travel the world while volunteering.
I started working on a big personal project for girl's education in South East Asia called "Filles Du Mekong" (Daughters of the Mekong).
For 10 months, in 5 different countries, I joined NGO and local communities that promote free education for everyone, and volunteer for them in order to send young girls to school so they can have a better future.
I have been doing several Workaway projects related to teaching in Myanmar, Karen State, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos (see below "teaching related volunteering projects" for more information about the project I took part in 2016-2017).

Not only travelling but also volunteering has always be an important part in my life. I have been volunteering for UNICEF in France to raise funds, I went to Vietnam to help restore a school and teach english to local kids, and during the Fukushima disaster in Japan in 2011, I went to the Fukushima prefecture to join a team of national volunteers to help the people that moved from the powerplant zone and take care of the children.

Now I am teaching French online while travelling since January 2017, which is the way I am paying from my travel expense, so I can dedicate half of my time volunteering for free in NGO around the world, and sometimes reinvesting some of the money into the projects I am joining.

My mother tongue is French, but I am fluent in English and Japanese, I also understand Spanish and Italian, and currently learning Brazilian Portuguese !
If you feel like we could get along and I could help you with your projects don't hesitate to contact me !
