One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After the covid I changed my life
I left France, the country I was born and lived during 24 years to go to my country of origin : Portugal. I worked one year in the city center of Lisbon
I learned a lot about myself, people, but also about the meaning of life, thanks to the people I met

After that, I did a fabulous Au Pair experience in Italy during the summer, I could saw another education, eat good food , meat people and enjoy my stay :-)

I met my partner in Spain and we past the last amazing 3 years in Barcelona! Meeting people, working, doing yoga, sport, reading books, eating gooood (he’s a cooker 🧑🏽‍🍳 ) , go to restaurants, bars, beaches, discovering new foods, going to museums, traveling to Madrid, Sevilla, the Balears and Canaries islands🌴

And I want to continue my life path in the same way

Now we have a project : Travelling NZ during one year!
We are going to NZ with a Working Holiday Visa 😃😃
Exploring the country, knowing the Maori’s culture, meeting people, working, making memories, leaving a vanlife”…
