Description

Hey, I am Emilie, a 20 years old girl who wants to travel around the world and discover new cultures (like everybody here I guess!)

I studied in Japan for a year and worked a bit in a farm in exchange of a bed and some conversation. I found that it was such a nice way to discover a country and just meet nice people! So here I am, ready to work away ~

I am studying law and aspire to become a magistrate. But along the way, I discovered the fascinating world of languages and I am currently trying to learn as much as I can. I hope I'll be able to use them during my trips! And of course discover the culture that goes along.

I can be a little clumsy but I am hardworking and I have basic experience with planting, renovating, taking care of animals (there is a couple of goats and sheep going around in my parent's garden)... I am also eager to learn and help in anyway I can.

Nice to meet you '\(^O^)/'

More details about your skills

I had two experiences akin to workaway in Japan. I helped milking cows and taking care of farm animals but also planting (rice, potatoes,...).

My parents have a big garden with animals too so I also helped them here and there. I know basic stuff about renovation like painting or sanding furnitures as we had to work on our house when we bought it.

In a different field, I created an association with friends in order to promote fun and easy ways to insert a responsible behavior in our everyday life. So I am learning everyday, both in terms of ecology and project management/animation.

More details about my language interests
I love languages so I am interested in whichever you want to share. My mother tongue is French and I am learning English and Spanish in school since a couple of years. I also learned a good chunk of Japanese by myself (although I tend to get a little rusty!) and started Chinese and standard Arabic this year. I am especially interested in non-national/regional tongues like Cantonese because it is harder to practice with books! I also want to take a look at fictional tongues like Esperanto as I love the idea behind them!
