About Me

Hello everyone!! I'm friendly and curious, I love traveling and discovering new landscapes. Right now, I'm in New-Zealand with a working holiday visa. I'd like to stay for one year mooving in the both islands, tring fruit picking, woofing, treking, visiting... In short: enjoying this beautiful country! and break out of my comfort zone :)

In France, I have made various youth leader experiences in summer camps. I spended 9 years in a theatre company. I have a bachelor’s degree in political science , a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s degree in Social and Solidarity Economics

What more can I add? I'm looking forward to laugh and have fun by meeting new people =)
