Description
Hi everyone, I’m Tiphaine, 29, and I live in the south of France.
I've travelled for a while abroad, in Japan and New-Zealand and I loved it, at the moment I make pizzas as a job but I'm taking a winter break to travel again in Guatemala until February 2024. I missed it so much !
I’m always looking to meet new people, share, express, laugh, learn, create, do new stuff & so on … I love art, painting and music, I also very much love nature and animals.Interests

I took care of the outdoor spaces, gardening, weeding, digging trenches etc.… I like doing physical work outside and being in contact with nature and the land.
I did quite a bit of cleaning too ! In backpackers or guesthouses, making sure the rooms and common parts are cleaned and ready for the next guests, I don’t mind repeating the same tasks day after day and I’m used to it.
In my daily job here I take care of all the customer-service related things, taking in calls, reservations, payments etc.… and I’m used to deal with what this king of job requires.
I consider myself as a hardworking and detail oriented person, I am invested and always do my best to complete the job. I love and I’m used to welcoming guests, chatting with them and making them feel the most comfortable they can. I am organised and tidy, good with computers, I speak English, Spanish and a bit of Japanese.Age

I have a weedless garden now, for a while at least.
If she asks to come to you, grab her with both hands, she is a delight to have in your home.
