Description

Hello dear Future host,
I am Violette, from France. 31, part French with some irish ancestry. I am curious to volunteer in Japan, Korea and Taïwan in the next year as I am planning a travel in Asia.

I already did Wwoofing in the U.S.A, France, Germany, England, Ireland and Spain. I love every adventure and getting to know people and the way they live. Feeling like I am part of a project really makes me happy.

As a person, I think I am quite easy-going though I need time off and clarity in my day to day life and activities. After many years of helping people, I know I can give the same amount of respect I get and I am really happy to share and get to know people from many walks of life.

I draw quite a lot, always up to try food, especially if it means tasting new things, and I love spending productive time with people discovering places.

Keep in mind that I am fully tattooed and present sometimes in an androgynous way. This is a part of me I do not wish to me compromised in. If this is a problem for you, no worries, just don't book me please :)

I think what I am really looking for is time with local people, this is what makes me feel the most useful and fulfiled. And as much as I liked building/cleaning/harvesting, working mainly alone lacks connexion for me.

I am really into asian food which is quite vast but the tastes are so rich and full (especially fermented food and learning about it, kimchi is one of my favorite), cinéma : I love watching movies, especially contemplative ones and share about it, amusement park or unusual site seeing (especially the ones many tourists would not know about), and amusement parks, my passion ! Ahah

What else ...

I guess my hobbies are quite varied.

I really like reading, especially autobiographies, getting to know people's perspectives on the world, and hearing about people stories or imaginations. Cinema is another one I love quite a lot, I have an unlimited pass to the movies in France and love spending a day watching many movies on end, I find it extremely relaxing but also makes me travel somehow.

As a tattoo artist but also a drawer, I love to see people's art, especially what they get to create without judgement, what comes to them and inspire them. Spending some shared days creating or learning techniques/teaching really brings me joy. Trying new ways to draw, and get rid of limitation.

If we are speaking of boardgames, I am more of a lone wolf in those even though in lfe I really seek for people's company. Not a big fan of cooperative games, though I really wish to try that ahah !

I did some extra credits at uni in wellbeing and it's a part of people's life I tend to be really interested in, it being regarding health, but also their habits of life, helping them relax and improve in their everyday life. Ayurveda, muscle movements, Emotional Freeing Technique,...

I guess I am also a dreamy child sometimes, though I tend to only wear black, constant colorful discoveries are a passion of mine to keep me happy : What type of Junmai sake will I try next, and what will it make me feel like ? What song will I teach my students today ? What city will I go and explore ? I can be quite a daydreamer with a determined mind.
