Description

Linguist, teacher of French as a foreign language, currently working in higher education as a staff member.
As I live in the Paris for years, I did a big part of my high education here, I don't have many opportunities to connect with nature... except when I go hiking at weekends, with a group of hikers. This allows me to discover the region safely and recharge my batteries. I also practice yoga/ do gymnastics. I've done Tai-Chi and Pilates before.
I love languages. I speak German and English (ich spreche Deutsch, I speak English) and ik leer Nederlandse taal met Duolingo and also started to learn some Italian. My mother tongue is Russian.

More details about your skills

In July 2023, I had my first wwoofing experience in Switzerland, in the Jura mountains, in an organic farm. I mainly worked in the garden and was happy with it, I also helped in the kitchen, preparing vegetables for preserving.
I'd like to help in the garden, harvest vegetables, wild herbs/plants (medicinal), maybe I could also learn a little beekeeping (I always wanted to learn it, as I love honey) and help out there. Anyway, help where I can.
