I'm a french girl who decided to take a break from work. Willing to discover different cultures and share about my own culture. At the same time, improve my english. My project consists to take 9 months in New-Zealand with a Working Holidays Visa and make a stop in Asia at the end of my travel. Maybe Thailand and Laos.

I'm looking for a place to stay few days to meet people and facilitate my arrival in New-Zealand from november 9th in the evening. I have no contact for the moment.
I prefer to meet local people living in Christchurch to know the local culture and have good time to share. After, i would like to find a work like picking or woofing.

I'd like to think that i'm friendly, happy, optimistic, adventurous, respectful, empathetic, open-minded, quite fun. I enjoy life and meeting people give sens to my life!

I grew up in the south of France until my 23 years old. After, i went back to school in Bordeaux during 4 years where i was living in houseshare with a lot of different people! Happy times and an amazing city!
When i finished my studies, i left everything and this beautiful place for un great job in Niort. Investided myself on local associations wich allowed me to meet a lot of good people because of the great actions.

My job consists in helping the youth in building projects of volunteering.

I love nature and all the simple things of life. Some people sometimes compare me to Alice in Wonderlands. ;)

My philosophy: life is beautiful but we have to make it beautiful!
I believe in citizen actions to make a better word.
Some of my valors: respect, tolerance, solidarity, share.
Be honest, be a good person and enjoy life!

Since i was young i've been surrounded by people (friends and family) who have travelled a lot.

My travel plan: Experiment with life, discover new vision of life, enjoy all the wonders of New-Zealand (lanscape, people, culture..). Also i'd like to discover activities such as permaculture and other waise of self-sufficiency lifestyle.
