Clémence

Travel information

Description

Hello :-)
My name is Clémence, I'm 33 and live in Brussels, Belgium.
After working for NGO, I trained again and become a committed illustrator. :-) I love drawing about nature and print also plants in cyanotype thanks to the UV and water. You can discover my work here: clemencegarnier.com
I am very interested at the time being in learning more about the plants I used, especially about herbalism and permaculture. Originally coming from a small town in the countryside in Brittany (France), I love being in nature.
I traveled a lot (Benin, South-East Asia, Europe, Peru, etc) and lived in different countries (France, Germany, USA and now Belgium). I often do bike holidays.
I love discovering other cultures, meeting people and learning new things. :-) I don't like anymore the "touristic" approach and prefer to take a trip that makes sense, with ecological respect.
I am at the same time an organized, reliable person, and a dreamer noticing little pleasures in daily life.
I am looking forward to a new experience in Greece thanks to workaway!
