Description

Helloooo, I'm Raphaëlle, a 26 year old French girl from France.

I'm really looking forward to meeting new people, learning new skills, bringing mine, helping,... My Spanish isn't amazing so I'd love to improve it. I just would love to be in an environment where people are like me and are looking for the same things as me: connection, discovery and exchange.

I have traveled and lived a lot in Europe & America (Canada, Finland, Spain, Germany, Nordics, Baltics, Italy, USA...) for work and studies. I volunteered for cultural events mostly. I was supposed to do more volunteer experiences 2 years ago and live in Norway for a year but I got a job in events and changed all my plans. I can't really explain why now but it wasn't my dream life so I'm back here again!

I grew up in the countryside surrounded by animals and nature. I'm an ocean girl and just love being in nature. I left for studies and work a few years ago now.
I am an extremely positive person, always willing to do anything, attentive and empathetic. I'm surely a people person, I love to talk about anything and everything because that's how you get to know others. I love adventure but I need calm as well. I'm an extremely spiritual person. I live and breathe yoga since a few years. I had a grandpa who was a yoga teacher so yoga has always been there for me but I had to bring it to my life.
I have always been sporty: gymnastics, bodysurfing, swimming. I love hiking, swimming in cold waters. I tried surfing and sailing so would love to give it a try again. Any physical work is welcome basically!
I love spending time with children, especially my little nephews. I was an AuPair for 3 months in Spain so I would be happy to help with children.
I never had the chance to have many pets except hamsters and cats but I love animals so much that sometimes I wonder why I didn't choose a profession related to them but let's say it's never too late so who knows.

I'm interested in any type of help I can bring in hostels, eco-projects, on boats, in surf schools, farms, families with children, languages exchanges (French, English)...

I think that's pretty much it even though I could always tell you more and more.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I'm really looking forward to hearing from you very soon and to sharing new adventures with you :)

More details about your skills

YOGA & SPIRITUALITY & PLANTS
I'm quite a nature person. I know quite a lot now about essential oils, how to use them to heal, I'm really interested in plants in general. I practice yoga and I'll be getting a certification as a teacher in January (at the start of my trip) in Peru.

TOURISM & CULTURE
After some studies in languages, business and cultural event management, I have acquired several skills in event management, sales, customer service, marketing, social network management, administration, website management, translation (French-English-German-Russian). I also know quite well the documentary film sector since I worked for markets and festivals during 3 years.

WITH CHILDREN + TEACHING LANGUAGES
I'm totally capable of taking care of childen, play with them and teach them French or English since I did it for a summer in Spain and I'm used to babysit my nephews since they are babies.

WITH ANIMALS
I can help with animals or petsitting since I'm used to take care of animals like dogs and cats mostly, for exemple my sisters' dog who is a wolf-dog.

HOUSEKEEPING : COOKING, CLEANING, PAINTING, ...
I absolutely love cooking, mostly pastries and cakes (banana bread and carrot cakes are my favorites), but I never say no to cooking when I have time so if you need any help on this part, I’m in. As for manual skills, I paint a lot. Most of the time, I can fix things when it’s not too technical but I learn easily. I used to take care of the garden in my parents house, cook with vegetables or fruits from it, and used to not having anything or anyone directly to help as we were quite remote, we mostly need to find solutions ourselves so I have quite a « can-do » attitude.

COMPUTER SKILLS
Can help with anything related to marketing, social media (Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Twitter), graphic design (Canva, Photoshop). I can't build a website but happy to help with it.

SAILING/BOATS IN GENERAL
I learned to sail when I was 12 but never tried again when I was older. I have the basics and would love to get back to it. I have as well my boat licence but never really used it but if needed, I can help.
