  • Description

    Hi everyone,
    currently planning a trip to Japan !
    [I have a Working Holiday Visa, and a travel insurance. International driving licence in progress]

    I'm a social and outdoor person, daydreamer, easy-going, and curious.

    I studied geography and ecology in France and Ireland, then spent my life moving from place to place for work, volunteering, or just discovery.
    After the Covid, I found a stable job in France. I've been working for the French Ministry of Ecology for 2 years now (2024).

    Before that, I worked mostly in hotels, hostels, and a bit in restaurants, bars, and with children. I volunteered in a dog shelter for 2 years and ended up working there. I learned basic positive canine education. My volunteering experiences also include an eco-construction project, some wildlife rescue centers, farmstays, work with horses (including equitherapy with disabled).
    Also do some CouchSurfing.

    In 2018-2020, I undertook a big trip in South America. With workaway, I met a lot of hosts in different kind of experiences !

    About horses : I practice horse riding since I was a child. I participated in a few great horseback ridings. I worked some time in a ranch in France, one in south of Brasil, and one cattle fazenda (ranch) in the Pantanal (marshlands, in Brasil). I'm no professional but I have enough experience to work in autonomy and work with young horses, and I'm a fast and motivated learner !

    I consider myself easy-going. I like living in community. My biggest fault might be that I don't enjoy cooking... (I compensate with cleaning and tidying !) I like working in autonomy as much as learning new things, with or without a team.

    I like : nature watching and ornithology (I always travel with my binoculars !), meeting and sharing with people, eating nice and new stuff, beer and wine, hiking, horses, dogs and any animal, walking a lot, scuba diving...
    I play video games, love watching movies and series, and read fantasy books.
    I'm concerned with ecological issues, feminism, gender identity, matters of dominations and inequalities.
