Description

Hi! I’m Mathilde, currently in the south of France, and I’m eager to reconnect with nature and explore new cultures. After completing my studies in culture and the arts, I’ve decided to embrace a more adventurous, nature-focused lifestyle. I love hiking and outdoor activities, and I’m seeking experiences that allow me to be in touch with nature, animals, and sustainable living practices. I’m particularly interested in working on farms, in gardens, or with animals (I have experience as horse rider and foster carer for cats). I’m also passionate about learning new languages, especially improving my Spanish and English. I’m looking for experiences that will help me expand my horizons and connect with kind-hearted people who share a love for nature and creativity.

I am excited to spend time outdoors, practice a slower, more sustainable lifestyle, and explore opportunities for personal growth through hands-on work and cultural exchange. I am flexible and open to working in a variety of settings, whether it’s helping with eco-projects, farming, gardening, or animal care.

I’m a creative and curious individual with a strong passion for personal growth and exploring new horizons. I recently completed my studies in Culture and the Arts, and for my final thesis, I focused on the subject of how artists can play a role in raising ecological awareness. This project deepened my understanding of the powerful impact that art can have in driving social and environmental change. It also reinforced my desire to engage more deeply with sustainability and nature in my everyday life.

As part of my studies, I also completed an internship at an eco-museum dedicated to the forest, where I had the opportunity to learn about environmental preservation, sustainable resource management, and the importance of educating people about ecology. This experience solidified my commitment to environmental advocacy and sparked my interest in hands-on projects that foster both personal and collective growth in harmony with nature.

Having grown up in the mountains, I’ve always felt a deep connection to nature, and now that I’ve completed my studies and lived in the city, I’m eager to return to a simpler, more nature-focused lifestyle. I enjoy spending time outdoors—whether it’s hiking, climbing, or simply appreciating the beauty of the natural world. I find peace in the sounds of nature: the rustle of wind in the trees, the flow of a stream, or the chirping of birds.

I’m naturally a reserved person at first, but I quickly open up once I feel comfortable. I love meeting new people from different backgrounds and cultures, and I’m always eager to engage in meaningful conversations. I believe in continuous learning—whether it’s through new experiences, acquiring new skills, or understanding different perspectives.

I’m an independent person who truly enjoys my own company, but I also love being social, meeting new people, and sharing great moments together. For me, it’s not so much about what we’re doing, but who we’re with—being surrounded by good energy makes all the difference.

I equally enjoy going out to the movies, concerts, and festivals as much as staying in for a cozy night with board games or just relaxing. I also love exploring the outdoors and going for walks to connect with nature. Whether it’s a lively gathering or a quiet moment, I’m all about finding joy in every experience.

I would be thrilled to work in settings that involve animal care, whether on farms or in animal rescue organizations.
