    Travelling

  • Description

    I love being close to nature, swimming, cooking, creating with my hands and mind, and sharing simple moments with real people.
    I’m drawn to authentic human connection, a slower pace of life, and projects where creativity and community truly matter.

    I studied architecture and urban and regional planning. After graduating, I helped my father with his semi-precious stone business in Madagascar.
    It was a valuable experience, but over time I realized I need to find my own path — not live someone else’s life.

    One thing I know for sure: I don’t want to spend my life in an office, behind a screen. I want to live.
    I want to be outdoors, move, learn by doing, connect with others, and feel part of something real.

    I live with an old knee injury, so the sea and mindful movement are essential to my well-being.
    In 2024, I spent seven months in Sardinia, traveling simply — that experience reminded me how little we need to feel free, connected, and alive.

    I enjoy observing and telling stories through photos and short videos — it’s my way of capturing and sharing real moments.
    I’m looking for a kind, natural environment where I can learn, help, grow, and contribute with presence, creativity, and care.

    I studied architecture and urban planning, a path that gave me a creative and practical mindset, and a strong connection to space and nature.
    I enjoy helping with cooking, daily tasks, and creative or manual projects, especially in shared or community settings.
