Activities we are interested in:

Traveling! Goal is to see the world. Currently we've seen over 50 countries together, but there's so much more to explore! we love culture, outdoor activities, local food, wine and animals.

Description

We are a couple from Sydney, Australia, and have fulfilled our wish to permanently live and work in France. We have relocated to regional France, AMBOISE . We have mae our dream come true, so far Sanam has found full time, but not Michael.
We are so close to making our dreams come true and would love any assistance possible with full time employment! We both have full working rights!

We have quit our jobs in Australia and live fulltime in Amboise, networking to make our dream of moving to France a reality.
We have been travelling all over the world for our adult lives together and have been to over 50 countries together. We have previously lived overseas for several years and in various different countries immersing ourselves in the culture and lifestyle. We are both professionals in our chosen fields. However, we have come to realise that not everything in life is about career success and a full bank account. We gave up a lot to make out reams come true!
We love seeing what this beautiful world has to offer us. We immerse ourselves in culture and local traditions. We love all outdoor activities, the sea, animals, great food and wine, and meeting new people.

We are both ex-hospitality managers and have both worked in some of the most prestige 5-star hotels in Australia and France.
Michael is a Horticulturalist specialising in Arboriculture, who runs a Consultancy business in Gold Coast Australia. Sanam is a security, compliance and regulations executive for large scale Casino and Hotel properties.

However, we have left these professions to take on the world. We both have plenty of experience in life, business and getting our hands dirty!

Nous sommes un couple originaire de Sydney, en Australie, et nous avons réalisé notre souhait de vivre et de travailler définitivement en France. Nous nous sommes installés dans la région d’Amboise. Nous avons fait de notre rêve une réalité : Sanam a déjà trouvé un emploi à temps plein, mais pas encore Michael.

Nous sommes si proches d’accomplir pleinement notre projet et nous serions très reconnaissants de toute aide possible pour trouver un emploi à temps plein ! Nous avons tous les deux tous les droits de travail en France.

Nous avons quitté nos emplois en Australie et vivons désormais à plein temps à Amboise, en développant notre réseau pour concrétiser notre rêve de nous installer en France.

Nous avons voyagé partout dans le monde durant notre vie d’adultes et avons visité plus de 50 pays ensemble. Nous avons également vécu plusieurs années à l’étranger, dans différents pays, où nous nous sommes immergés dans la culture et le mode de vie local. Nous sommes tous les deux des professionnels dans nos domaines respectifs. Toutefois, nous avons compris que la vie ne se résume pas uniquement à la réussite professionnelle ou au solde d’un compte bancaire. Nous avons sacrifié beaucoup pour réaliser nos rêves !

Nous aimons découvrir ce que ce magnifique monde a à offrir. Nous nous immergeons pleinement dans la culture et les traditions locales. Nous aimons toutes les activités de plein air, la mer, les animaux, la bonne cuisine, le bon vin, et rencontrer de nouvelles personnes.

Nous sommes tous deux d’anciens managers dans l’hôtellerie-restauration et avons travaillé dans certains des hôtels 5 étoiles les plus prestigieux en Australie et en France.
Michael est horticulteur spécialisé en arboriculture et dirige une entreprise de conseil sur la Gold Coast, en Australie. Sanam est responsable de la sécurité, de la conformité et de la réglementation dans de grands hôtels et casinos.

Cependant, nous avons quitté ces professions pour vivre une nouvelle aventure. Nous avons tous les deux une grande expérience de la vie, du travail, du business et nous n’avons pas peur de nous salir les mains !
