Description

How we met:

We met two years ago while volunteering at an alternative, eco-friendly school. During this experience, we also lived together as flatmates. This allowed us to form strong bonds that made us want to share other adventures together.

Zoé:
I grew up in the countryside and connecting with nature is very important to me. I am curious by nature and enjoy discovering the world and my surroundings, discussing and exchanging ideas on various topics.
I am a creative person; I love art but also DIY (in fact, I love learning new skills). Creative hobbies are important to me, as is learning step by step how to renovate a house, for example.
I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and aspire to become a school teacher and one day live in an eco-village.
I am cheerful and smiling by nature and love being around animals and children!

Mikaïa:
On a daily basis, I am a cheerful person. I like to make people around me laugh, even though I admit it's more difficult in another language.
I like discovering new things, whether it's theoretical knowledge, manual skills or anecdotes. I admit that I'm not as creative as Zoé, but I'm increasingly enjoying using my hands for useful or purely aesthetic purposes. Being talkative and curious, I may ask several questions to fully understand the tasks I'm asked to do so that I can carry them out intelligently. I like to do things logically: I think my brain is drawn to science, particularly mathematics.
Over the past year, I have developed a taste for hiking and have realised that being surrounded by nature is important to me. I enjoy walking surrounded by beautiful landscapes while chatting with my friends or simply listening to the sounds of nature.
Since I was little, I have always had animals in my life. I have lived with cats and been around dogs. Animal welfare is therefore important to me.
My dream job was to be a school teacher. People say that I am quite good at teaching others, and I enjoy teaching people new things, so that works out well!
I had the opportunity to try my hand at teaching last year when I volunteered at an alternative school. There, I learned patience, kindness and communication skills.
I currently have a degree in quality and industrial logistics.
