Description

Hi there!✈️
My name is Elise Malécot and I'm looking for workaway opportunities for my trip, which will probably be to New Zealand from June to October! I'm a motivated and curious person looking to spend four months close to nature. I haven't traveled much in my life, so this trip will allow me to meet new people abroad for the first time!
To tell you a little more about myself, I am a third-year student at ICAM in Nantes (France). I love sports (especially running and dancing) and playing music!
I am determined and looking for great experiences, so I hope to find good places to meet people and get all the tips I need to discover the most beautiful places in New Zealand.
I love sports, especially hiking, where you can push yourself to new heights!
I'm currently planning my trip. I'll be arriving in Queenstown in mid-June, where I don't have any plans yet. I'll then head to Nelson, where I've found a Workaway placement. I don't have any other plans for now, but I'll be leaving from Auckland in early October.

What else ...

This is the first time I've ever traveled so far from home on my own, so it's exciting but also a little scary. I'm really looking forward to discovering a new culture and meeting new people so I can share some truly meaningful moments.
I'm 19 years old and still have a lot to learn, and I think traveling alone will help me do that, at least a little bit.
