My path

About me

Thanks to my studies in the Netherlands, I had the opportunity to do a work placement / internship in Melbourne for 6 months (it was two years ago). And then, after getting my degree, we decided with my boyfriend to use our unique Working Holiday visa to visit more areas in Australia. We loved a lot this country, the landscapes are wonderful, we met interesting people (especially in Tasmania, where the people are more than open minded and friendly). Then, after 7 months there, we bought a flight to Argentina : Maxime falled in love of this country few years before and missed it ! As far as I'm concerned, I didn't know any word in Spanish, that's why I firstly paid a school to learn this language in Cordoba. During this time my boyfriend found a job in Punta Arenas in Chile in his speciality... in the southernmost city in the world. I joined him in September (2009) : 6 months we've lived there !

I can speak Français, Anglais, Espagnol.

My birthday is on 27 November, I was born in 1986
