Hello there! I'm Bernadette, a French Lebanese girl who can't get enough of sunsets, some good food, music, good company and the smell of the ocean. I was living in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid) for more than 8 years and then decided to quit my job (graphic designer), my appartement, my little life and a confort zone that i built for a new energy and lifestyle. I will be traveling in Philippines from June during a few months.

For more references, you can look at my profile here: https://www.airbnb.es/users/show/6450408

Maybe I can help you with some graphic design skills, I would be glad to support any project you have.
I worked for big companies as a Senior Brand Designer, you can see some of my work here:

I also love sharing good vibes, cooking, gardening, dancing, speaking about philosophy or psychology among many other things. For passion I was singing in a women's choirs and I practice contemporary, arabic and urban dance. I have studies in Arts and Graphic Design, and love drawing and painting.

I have a massive love for animals, nature and the ocean, and an interest in mindfulness. I believe life is all about giving and receiving the gifts we have all have picked up along the way and i would love to be able to share what i have learnt on my journey.

Let's have a drink* I believe the best people you meet are the ones you can just spend a great time with over a drink and share some good vibes and experiences.

Favorite poetry:

Par les soirs bleus d'été, j'irai dans les sentiers,
Picoté par les blés, fouler l'herbe menue
Rêveur, j'en sentirai la fraîcheur à mes pieds.
Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tête nue.
Je ne parlerai pas, je ne penserai rien
Mais l'amour infini me montera dans l'âme,
Et j'irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien,
Par la nature, heureux comme avec une femme.

Sensation de Rimbaud

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sorry, i can't tell you, you would think i'm crazy :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn the most you can from the people around you, from the context you're into, from the other cultures you travel to.
Spead the joy you have. It's almost a selfish action, it's wonderfully contagious.

What I Can Share with Hosts

One of the things i learned past the years is to choose to believe that life is easy, and it's just be.
