Information de voyage

Actuellement, je suis

Description

I enjoy living with locals, discovering new places and learning new languages.

I started living abroad as an au pair. Then, I took part in the Erasmus+ programme, which allowed me to live in a Slovakian village for a year. There, we organised extracurricular activities for the village children and teenagers. More recently, I obtained a working holiday visa, which allowed me to discover New Zealand for a year. I used the HelpX website (same principle as Workaway) a lot to help locals for short periods and discover their daily lives.

I'm currently working as a French language assistant in a school in Schleswig-Holstein (Germany) and I'm looking for short term positions nearby to explore the region and get to know the locals.

Hobbies : reading, writing, traveling, hiking

Character : good at managing, tidy, dedicated

Dietary : vegetarian

I will be happy to cook (French) dishes for you.
I can help in your garden or your home and help with your children.
I'm interested in ecological lifestyles and I would like to gain building skills.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
Languages are a gateway to other people. I started learning German at primary school, then English at secondary school, and these two languages have enabled me not only to travel, but also to forge strong bonds with local people. I believe that language awareness is important from an early age and that it should be taught in a fun way. It is also essential to be supportive when teaching a language so that learners feel confident enough to practice it, even if they make mistakes at first.
