Description

Hi there !

I'm Léa from Europe,
I have been exploring and learning around the world for 7 years now, while either studying, working, volunteering or "just traveling". I discovered many places, cultures, and people(s) on the way.

What I love the most is to experience cultural differences. I love seeing nice places of course but the main reason I travel is to meet people and share experiences. That's why I like to go alone, I love hitchhiking and leave room for the "unplanned plans" to happen.
I am always craving to learn new things and I love to take the time to be involved in the daily life of my hosts. We have so much to learn from each other.

Official home is France (région Bourgogne) but I lived in different countries such as England, the Netherlands, Aotearoa, Norway and more recently Brazil and the DR of Congo.
And because I am always moving and doing something different, I am a quick learner, super adaptable to new environments and RESILIENT :).

I love cows. And I am passionate about ecology and wildlife conservation.
I am hard working, used to get my hands dirty, very curious and ambitious.
I now have a strong interest to discover more about plants. How they grow, what we can eat, how some can be used for healing, etc.
But I am excited to discover and learn about pretty much everything! (for example construction, building in general, how to handcraft musical instruments, how to contribute to women's empowerment, etc, many interests I have!).

I respect people as such and believe this society is lacking kindness and tolerance.
I hope to be a great help for you, discover new ways of living and exchange on our cultures / languages!

PS: I am physically fit and enthusiastic about the work even in hard conditions (extreme weather, rough terrain, heavy stuffs, etc.). I can do everything, but please know that I find myself very anxious when cooking for others. I satisfy myself with very basic food but I am not comfortable with you tasting it. I am more than happy to do the dishes though.. :)

Let's talk!
