  • Description

    Hi! I am French and have decided to become fluent in Spanish to go on a backpacking trip around South America :)
    My motto in life is to be happy and to surround myself with positive, loving people. I love to question and improve myself.
    I think it's the best way to then be able to spread happiness and positivity and help make a difference in people's life and in the world.

    I'm a very social person, I love meeting new people and having deep conversations that will change my perspective on life.
    I have been doing couchsurfing for over 10 years (staying at people's place when I travel and welcoming travellers in my home when I am working). It's an amazing way of meeting people that you would never have met in your everyday life. You also get to really immerse yourself in the country's culture.
    These experiences during my travels made my journey so much more memorable :)

    I have also spent some time doing volunteering work in different areas (hospitality work in a luxurious well being spa , in a remote and nature friendly family style place and in glamping ground, farming etc) while I traveled last year around India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
    I just came back from 3 months of volunteering in Guinea (Africa) where we were helping orphan chimpanzees victims of poaching. The goal was to take care of them and release them back in the wild when possible.

    When I came back to France, I also spent 3 months in Buddhist center to help in the kitchen, cleaning and making sure that everything was running smoothly for retreatants to have the best experience.
    I have a lot of interests and a lot more to discover...which is making life very exciting with endless possibilities!
    I love animals, reading, yoga, spending quality time with the people that I love, hiking, being in the nature..
    I am a breathing teacher, a holistic coach and I do sound healing. I am very interested in spirituality and Buddhism.
    And of course I am a lot into traveling!
