Description
I am a curious citizen of the world. People say that I'm funny and easily spread joy around me. I say I'm optimistic and creative. Adventure, caution and discovery guide my life.
• I have now taken a keen interest in ecology and nature 🌳 Permaculture, zerowaste, organic food and earth connection 🍃
• I also like construction projects 🛠 Renovation, building, decoration. Due to several works, I know these are tasks I love to learn. And in things I love to learn, I usually evolve quickly ;-)
Culture and Art have always been part of my life. I like visiting exhibitions, museums , gigs, dancing and explore local events.
Passionate by intercultural exchanges, learning languages and travelling.
I have now chosen to dedicate my energy and skills in vibrant areas such as ecology, human relationships and art. And sport, because my middle adulthood body demand it, ahah!
I love life in community and share with others : cultures, ages, experiences,... As I also need my space and moments of loneliness from to time.
I've been working as a web communication agent for 14 years in the fields of Art, Event management and Health.
Beyond cultural events, I love sports : walking, trekking, biking and boxing.
Several Workaway experiences in Portugal ( Northern Portugal, Viseu District and Leiria district - since December 24 ) have confirmed my wil :
- keep developing my skills in gardening, permaculture, construction ;
- improve my knowledges in Portuguese language and culture.
I am now available for new workaways ;-)
Hope to meet you soon and share nice experiences together ! -

More details about your skills
In my teenage years, I was an activity leader for children and young adults. Those incredible experiences - in Belgium and abroad - taught me a lot in how to live in community. "Live and let live" is one of my most precious principle.
- Listening
- not judging
- open mind
I felt that the Workaway experience is really what I like in this moment of my life : I am respectful, smiling, cooking and taking part to the common activities. Love it !
I cannot finish my presentation without talking about radio. Radio is like part of me. Always been part of my life. I feel super comfy with microphone and radio talks. I can't explain that. It is just natural to me. I now create podcasts for my actual job. Don't know if it is important but I needed to tell it :-D -
