Preferred location

I’m a passionate traveler seeking meaningful connections and cultural exchange opportunities around the world. I've called France home for over 20 years. Originally from Venezuela, I became a French citizen a few years ago after living in France for more than a decade. And let's not forget, I also lived for a few years in the U.S., between Maryland and Miami, Florida, before moving to France. Fluent in Spanish, English, and French, I bring a multilingual perspective to my pursuits.
Eager to discover places where I can contribute and make a difference, my goal is to learn new skills and engage in cultural exchanges between those seeking help and those wanting to lend a hand. I aim to dive into experiences that help me grow personally and reflect on my life's journey.
With nearly 30 years of work experience, I've had diverse roles from babysitting and cashier to receptionist and administrative assistant. For the past 12 years, I found my groove managing a clothing and jewelry store in France. Currently, I'm diving into the exciting world of digital, exploring areas like graphic design, infographics, UX design, and community management – it's a whole new playground for me. I thrive on learning new things and embarking on new adventures.
Italy has always held a piece of my heart. From the language to the culture and its people, it's like a love story I've always wanted to be a part of – a feeling that began with some wonderful Italian friends I had back in Venezuela.
So, while I'm busy learning the lines in the digital world, I'm also daydreaming about the beauty and passion of the Italian lifestyle. Can't wait to see where this journey takes me!

In the near future, I will be embarking on distance learning to reorient myself in the digital field. This new endeavor won't affect my ability to offer help, collaborate, or contribute in any way needed. While I'll need to organize my schedule to balance my studies, I remain committed to being available and engaged. I actually believe that my distance learning could be beneficial, as I'll be acquiring new skills that I can share with others. This learning process will not only help me grow but also enable me to contribute by passing on what I've learned to those in need.
