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 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 learn from others : cultures, ages, experiences,...

I studied communication, with a special focus on journalism and web. 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 walking, fast walking and trekking, biking, boxing and climbing.

Three - great - Workaway experiences in Northern Portugal and Viseu District - since December 24 - have confirmed my wil : keep developing my skills in gardening, permaculture, construction and improving my Portuguese.
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
