CURRENT MISSION

Travel broadens the mind

ABOUT ME

My name is Donia, I'm from Paris, where I grew up. I studied fine arts at the University La Sorbonne.
I have traveled extensively in Europe and a little around Asia alone or to visit some friends.

I lived in Korea from October 2011 to October 2012. I was teaching English to children as a volunteer for a Korean NGO during 6 month. Then I moved to Seoul , worked as staff in a guesthouse and also worked as waitress.

Back in Paris I worked as support for middle school students with disabilities . My last work experiences were mostly for retail as a sales representative for designer brands.
But I've done so many other different jobs too!

After a year and 3 months in New-Zealand from December 2016 to March 2018. I am about to move to Australia, for a third working holiday visa. Looking for a job in beautiful city of Sydney.

I'm very sociable , love to exchange about travel , art and life experiences. I am very interested by custom , cooking and fashion. And I like to read comics books and visit museums .

Sorry I can't host , as I travel I don't even have a home at the moment !
