  • Description

    Hi,
    I am currently searching a paid-position in Europe for the upcoming winter.
    I will be available from November 2025 to April 2026.

    I spent about 6 months with WorkAway in Ireland last year in order to improve my English and take a step back on my life and career.
    It was an amazing experience that allowed me to discover the culture of the country. I also met such nice people and learnt a lot about their way of life.

    About me:

    I am an enthusiastic and dynamic person, and am always smiling (or almost 😉) and love to laugh.

    I have a strong background in hospitality management, sales and event organisation.
    I worked as a campsite manager in the French Alpes last summer. It was a very simple camspite located in the midst of nature with a lot of pitches and a few equipped-tents.

    I am very versatile, not afraid with hard work.
    I love working amongst nature, looking after animals, meeting people, independent work as well as working as part of team, DIY and gardening.
    I love to have busy days, and learn new things or discover a new way of doing things.

    My favorite activities are walking, hiking, swimming and trying other sports. I also love reading thrillers.

    I nearly always lived in villages or little cities (excepted when I lived in Paris!) and I love to be in the countryside or at least in a quiet place with easy access to nature. Being lost in the middle of nowhere is not a problem for me😄

    I am open to discover any type of job everywhere in Europe.
    So, wherever you are and whatever you do, get in touch and let's talk about it!

  • More details about your skills

    I have over 15 years of experience in customer service as I worked in the hospitality industry, event organisation and sales. I worked in different sectors such as hotels, the champagne industry, Telecom field and security equipment for tree top adventure parks so, I am very adaptable. As I used to work in fast-paced environments, I developped very good organisational skills and proactivity.

    I like DIY. I renovated my house and built another one. I prepared the walls and did all the painting inside, dug the soil and created a path with stones, etc... and have been gardening for several years.

    I am a creative person and, during a period of my life when I had time... I used to do a lot of handcrafts on my own or with my daughters when they were kids. I would love to learn new creative techniques.

    I love animals and know how to look after pets. I had Guinea pigs when I was young and later I had a cat and a dog.
