Hello!

I’m a lover of solo travel, feeling most at home staring out of a bus window between two disparate cities. I grew up in New Zealand and have lived in Sydney since 2015. I studied French, English, and Psychology at university, and had the intention in doing my masters in clinical psychology. That was put on hold in order do a long partially solo trip around Europe, during which I visited 10 countries. While I didn’t visit France during this trip, I did meet other French travellers which reignited my desire to improve my French. This lead me to embark on a working holiday to France in 2025. I am now planning to become a French teacher when I return to Australia.

I am currently travelling around France before starting my life in Toulouse, where I hope to work in a restaurant or bar.

I love connecting with new people, discussing culture, and enjoying the beauty of being alive.

Bonjour !

Je suis passionnée par les voyages en solo, me sentant le plus chez moi en regardant par la fenêtre d’un bus entre deux villes très différentes. J’ai grandi en Nouvelle-Zélande et je vis à Sydney depuis 2015. J’ai étudié le français, l’anglais et la psychologie à l’université, avec l’intention de faire un master en psychologie clinique. Ce projet a été mis en pause pour faire un long voyage, en partie solo, à travers l’Europe, pendant lequel j’ai visité dix pays. Je ne suis pas passée par la France pendant ce voyage, mais j’ai rencontré d’autres voyageurs français, ce qui a ravivé mon envie d’améliorer mon français. Cela m’a conduite à entreprendre un visa vacances-travail en France en 2025. Je prévois maintenant de devenir professeure de français à mon retour en Australie.

En ce moment, je voyage en France avant de commencer ma vie à Toulouse, où j’espère travailler dans un restaurant ou un bar.

J’aime rencontrer de nouvelles personnes, parler de culture, et profiter de la beauté d’être en vie.
