Description

Hola!
My name is Marine, I am a 31-year-old French woman.

In October I started a long term trip to Central & Latin America, where I travel low carbon, crossing frontiers by buses. My drive through my travels is to learn everything about permaculture and living in self-sufficiency, through volunteer work. I have had a few volunteering experiences during the last 8 years I have been on Workaway, both in temperate and tropical climates.

✨ I want to discover each and every latin country. Meet its people, its culture, its tradition, and give back as much as I can, with my experiences, my spirit and work.

🍃Sharing my core values concerning ecology. Living consciously, being wise about energy and water consumption. Living the closest to zero waste possible.

🍁My personal adage is “Less is more and frees us”.

⛰️Be immersed in nature away from the unnatural ways of the cities. Be amazed by wild animals in their natural habitat.

🥘A lot of cooking : I cook mostly vegetarian, and I also love to experiment with vegan alternatives. But I can eat everything, including meat, which I cook for my family.

🤸 Being fit and looooving sports very much, I am happy to perform physical tasks on a daily basis.
At home I practice various sports throughout the week, from cardio shadow-boxing sessions, jogging, cycling, roller-skating, zumba, up to high intensity interval training sessions. Plus my daily morning yoga.

💡Organized, logic and pragmatic, I am a solution oriented person, always looking for optimizing my own efficiency.

I have been working for a non profit organization for 4 ½ years, which organizes holidays for mentally disabled adults in France. I am now taking a 18 month leave to live my dreams.

🏘️I wish to get truly involved in different projects, help families, communities, eco-villages, so I might call one of them home one day if it feels right and expatriating to a Central or Latin American country.

🫶Live a life which resembles me more. Get away from an exclusively capitalist world, we humans have so much more to give and exchange : time, knowledge, kindness of heart, experiences and stories.

☀ I am good with computers, internet, Canva, and experimenting a bit with Wordpress.

I speak a fluent english and an intermediate spanish ; but my goal is to achieve fluency in Spanish within the year!




ES

¡Hola!

Me llamo Marine, soy una mujer francesa de 31 años.

En octubre comencé un viaje de largo plazo por Centroamérica y América Latina, viajando de manera baja en carbono y cruzando fronteras en autobús. Mi motivación durante este recorrido es aprender todo lo posible sobre la permacultura y la vida en autosuficiencia, a través del voluntariado. He tenido varias experiencias de voluntariado durante los últimos 8 años en los que he estado en Workaway, tanto en climas templados como tropicales.

✨ Quiero descubrir cada uno de los países latinoamericanos. Conocer a su gente, su cultura y sus tradiciones, y devolver tanto como pueda, con mi experiencia, mi energía y mi trabajo.

🍃 Compartir mis valores fundamentales relacionados con la ecología: vivir de manera consciente, ser responsable con el consumo de energía y agua, y vivir lo más cerca posible del residuo cero.

🍁 Mi lema personal es: «Menos es más y nos libera».

⛰️ Estar inmersa en la naturaleza, lejos de las formas artificiales de las ciudades. Maravillarme con los animales salvajes en su hábitat natural.

🥘 Mucha cocina: cocino principalmente vegetariano y también me encanta experimentar con alternativas veganas. Sin embargo, como de todo, incluida la carne, que cocino para mi familia.

🤸 En buena forma y amante del deporte, estoy encantada de realizar tareas físicas a diario.
En casa practico varios deportes durante la semana: sesiones de cardio y shadow boxing, jogging, ciclismo, patinaje, zumba y entrenamientos de alta intensidad (HIIT), además de mi yoga matutino diario.

💡 Organizada, lógica y pragmática, soy una persona orientada a las soluciones, siempre buscando optimizar mi eficiencia.

He trabajado durante 4 años y medio para una organización sin fines de lucro que organiza vacaciones para adultos con discapacidad intelectual en Francia. Actualmente estoy tomando una pausa de 18 meses para vivir mis sueños.

🏘️ Deseo involucrarme de verdad en distintos proyectos, ayudar a familias, comunidades y ecoaldeas, con la idea de que algún día pueda llamar hogar a uno de estos lugares, si se siente correcto, y expatriarme a un país de Centroamérica o América Latina.

🫶 Vivir una vida que se parezca más a mí. Alejarme de un mundo exclusivamente capitalista; los seres humanos tenemos mucho más para ofrecer e intercambiar: tiempo, conocimientos, bondad, experiencias e historias.

☀️ Me manejo bien con computadoras, internet, Canva y estoy experimentando un poco con WordPress.

Hablo inglés con fluidez y español a nivel intermedio; ¡pero mi objetivo es alcanzar la fluidez en español dentro de este año!
