Description

I am a journalist and director of an environmental education association. I have already done many international volunteer projects and speak intermediate English.
What motivate me and brings me happiness: learning from our differences, developing new skills and discovering other cultures, understanding what connects us beyond borders, laughing, sharing, being close to nature and the people who are part of it...
