Description

Hi, I'm Isabelle, 32yo
I'm french and love to experience life outside of my country at times as I find it enriching and fulfilling. I have itchy feet as we say, and I need to meet people from other culture. I lived in South Africa for 9 years. This all adventure started with volunteering and exchanges as workaway actually.
I am trained in tourism and hospitality and worked extensively in this field, I have 4 years experience as a tour guide too. It was great but I am not finding sense in tourism anymore and I am converting myself into a massage therapist and yoga teacher.
I'm also into art, mostly photography, but I also draw, paint and do theatre: I need to express myself ! This is also why I need traveling as it inspire me through the exchange and discovery.
I love dancing forro witch will bring me to Brazil soon.
Speak fluently franch and english, a bit of rusty spanish and learning portuguese at the moment!

More details about your skills

- I have 12 years experience into tourism.
I have skills for working at a front desk, tour guiding, reception. This was the core of my jobs and I practiced in Croatia, France and South Africa, from backpackers to luxury guests.
I'm super adaptable and multi task.

- I have basic skill in construction: I need a mentor but have goodwill and motivation. I worked on some house renovation couple of times. I can saw, paint, polish, varnish, I used to be very good with tiles. Only thing, I have some back issues so no heavy weights for me !

- I am not too bad with teaching, depending on the subject: I have been a horse riding teacher in the past, (I'm very good with horses 20yrs of riding and horses at home), and I have also done some volunteer mission for after school help with unpriviledged kids in my village in South Africa.

- I'm a bit of an artist, it's not always easy for me to respond to someone request but otherwise I can draw, paint, not bad with photo/camera etc

Age

32

What else ...

- I can be quiet and lonely at times, and needing to socialize too. I need balance with that.
Not a party animal but I'm in love with dance and music so rather a wholesome vibe is my vibe.

- Love reading books, be around music and musicians , dance. I like intellectual exchange with a big interest on culture.

- There is a touch of wellness in my life through sport, yoga , massage, meditation and good food :)
I like meaningful conversations :)
