Currently back in Europe, I'm planning to travel in Italy for the month of June

Description

Growing up in France, I studied and became an engineer in a field that I proudly care about : the environment and water sciences. Working in Australia on an industrial site with a local team taught me essential skills such as field, communication and adaptability. Today, after a Working Holiday Visa in New Zealand, I gained a lot of hands on experience : animal care, farm tasks, diy, manual handling, tree planting, housekeeping...
I then travelled back to Australia joining a sailing crew, crossing the Tasman sea ⛵ 🌊
after a few months in Australia I am now back in Europe.
