Description

Hello everyone!

I'm Nolwenn, 29 years old French woman.

I'm currently working as a UX / UI designer (basically, I'm a webdesigner with a focus on design) while travelling at the same time. I design websites & e-shops, I design personalized and impactful logos, work with brands to help them determine their brand image and corporate identities, I'm also a community manager helping brands with their communication on social networks.
But that's not the only things I do! I also have a master's degree in History and I regularly work in archives in France. I'm also a photographer (for my travels or for the brands I work for), an artist and a writer! Life's too short to do only one thing, don't you think?

I've started travelling in Europe when I was a teenager and actually never stopped haha! Travelling abroad, discovering different countries & cultures, meeting people, expanding my mindset, always exploring and discovering something new and different is something that brings meaning into my life and makes me a better human being (at least in my opinion).
So far, I've mostly travelled in Europe, especially eastern Europe. I've also spent a full year in Japan and a couple of months in Thailand so yeah, you could say I'm starting to become an experienced traveller!

I'm already a Couchsurfer and when I heard about Workaway, I decided to give it a try and I can't wait to start this new step in my personal journey!
