    Travelling

  • Description

    Growing is what motivates me. Learning something new is what brings me happiness!
    Quite generic you could say but it sums me up quite nicely!
    Born in France, Grew up in Belgium, traveled to Ireland and ended up staying a decade, currently living in Germany. I also have an Italian Grandfather whom I never got to meet! So I can't wait to discover part of Italy some more!
    In Belgium I developed a passion for languages, foreign cultures and animals. I am fluent in French, German, English and Spanish. Thanks to my mother German was the first language I got to start learning at the age of 5. And I was lucky to grow up learning horse riding until the age of 25. What a beautiful friend to have!
    But this is when I decided to travel to Ireland with a Friend and after couch surfing through this beautiful country for months, I found a job and ended up staying about 10 years. Ireland brought me so much! People from everywhere, Friends, the discovery of festivals and with that a lot of new bands and singers old and new! As well as a husband and a dog which I both love and will share this travelling time and profile with. I can't wait for you to meet them!
    About 3 years ago we all moved to Germany because I was getting a bit family sick (and also had a work opportunity). During this time, my husband and I got to spend a lot more time with my family, reconnect with old friends and made loads new more of course!
    This brings me to today (in short of course :) would love to tell you more!), where it is time to take a break from work and enjoy the now! For the coming year we will travel through Europe and we would love for Workaway to guide our discoveries instead of having a fixed itinerary. We want to use this time of course to discover beautiful places, but also to learn. Learn about and from ourselves, learn about and from others, learn about and from places.

  • More details about your skills

    Languages perhaps to start with, native French, fluent in English. Those two languages I would be very comfortable teaching others. I also speak German and Spanish. While German is the first foreign language I have learned it feels it is the last I will master! My level of Spanish is B2 on paper but that being said I do not practice it regularly therefore would not feel comfortable teaching it but more than happy to communicate in Spanish.
    Handling of horses: while it has been a decade since I last worked with horses regularly, I did ride for 20 years and spent 2 years working with young show jumping horses and would LOVE the opportunity to share time with horses again.
    The Love for animals in general, dogs are my second favorite and I wouldn't be comfortable handling snakes but chicken, rabbit, cows, pigs....
    Painting: walls and furniture mainly
    Restaurant, hotels: This is my family business, I have washed dishes, served tables, worked the bar, clean the toiled, hoovered the floor many evenings and many summers!
    Gardening: preferably indoor plants, vegetables and herbs. I don't know much about flowers... That doesn't mean I know everything about plants, vegetable and herbs either :D
    The last 10 years I have worked in Sales for a SaaS Tech company. While this is what I am trying to take a break from I am open to share my experience if you feel this is what you need.
