Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi! I am French and live in the UK (Sheffield) but currently backpacking the world since May 2023. I have stayed in Europe so far, but planning to visit Australia, New Zealand, SE Asia and South America.
I speak French and English fluently, a little bit of Spanish and know a few Greek words.

My love for travelling started when I spent an Erasmus year in Cyprus in 2014, so far one of the best years of my life!
I always wanted to see more of the world after graduating from university in 2017 but Covid happened when I first wanted to go and so finally, a few years later this is happening! I love exploring the world, meeting new people (I am very social), trying new food, and learning new languages and things in general.

I love being active, I used to dance from age 3 to 15 (now 30 haha), and did horse riding competitions also when I was a teenager. Now, I love weight training and movement in general. I started indoor climbing early this year and would love to carry on. I am also a Yoga Teacher since September 2022 and would love to find opportunities to teach during my travel. I teach Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga.

I also love nature and the peace that it brings. I love going for walks/hikes. I love also being near water (Pisces is my astrology sign ;) )

I am easygoing, social, funny (I think), kind and caring. I love helping others and learning new skills along the way.

More details about your skills

I studied law and have a Master's in Children's rights based on French and European law.
As a student, I did a lot of different kinds of jobs (waitress, barista, guide, hostess, etc)

After University in France, I moved to the UK and worked for 4 years as a Technical Account Manager for Mindbody, a Software company for Wellness, Fitness and Beauty businesses. I had my own portfolio of clients and used to help them build their platform, learn how to use the software, answer their questions, troubleshoot issues etc.
I also worked for 1 year directly for a client as their Group Technical Solutions Manager,

I am now a Yoga Teacher since September 2022 and teach Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga. I started Yoga in 2018 and have fallen in love with the practices and what it's teaching me. A real turn in my professional life, but for the best.

I grew up surrounded by trees, a little gem outside my home town and for that reason I have always been resourceful, helping my dad around the house with manual work. As I lived in cities through University and after, I don't get to do as much manual work anymore but I love learning new skills and I learn quickly!
