Hi everyone!
I am currently slowing down my activity on Chatterbug for a few weeks as I am getting to the end of my pregnancy 
Due date planned on May 15th! I canāt wait to see you all very soon again, and your progress 
My name is Camille, and I am from a small town in northern France called Saint-Omer (Around 15,000 inhabitants). Small today, it was one of the most important cities in the Middle Age, and I was surprised when I realised the famous French writer Victor Hugo even mentions it in several of his booksā¦ 
BUT it is also a cold and rainy place (Do you picture the famous British weather? Well, it is about the sameā¦ 
) and I soon wanted to travel as soon as I could and go discover new places. I first went to study for a year in the middle of Ireland (Athlone), where I found myself with so many foreigners just like me. It was such a great experience already (Except for the weather, again 
). I got to learn about so many different cultures all in one place, and got literally passionate about it. I almost couldnāt speak any English when I got there (school classes did not succeed with me) and I had to go through such difficulties, especially on my arrival day. After a few weeks only, everything was perfect and I was living the dream. By the end of the year, I graduated in International Business and Management and even learnt quite a lot of Italian at the time by living with 7 of themā¦ 
I came back to France where I studied as well with foreigners whom I loved to help learn some French. Later, I left for 6 months in Spain (Santander, Cantabria) where I learnt Spanish 
After those amazing experiences I wanted another challenge and try to live outside Europeā¦ + I was dying to experience the āflip-flop lifeā, as I love to call it 
With the help of some friends, I went to finish my master by a 6 months internship in the Dominican Republic, in the Caribbeanā¦ That ended up in almost 3 years living in PARADISE. I launched my company in tourism and made sure that everyone who came on the island would have an amazing AUTHENTIC time there.
Even though I started traveling again lately (I wanted to make sure that DR was the place I wanted to spend my life in by traveling a bit more): I started a WHV in January 2020 in New Zealand, where I spent 2 blessed years, away from Covid-19 
During our experience with my partner Tristan, we also spent 3 months in the Cook islands: On Rarotonga and Aitutaki. It felt lovely to enjoy the tropical vibe again.
For now, we just arrived to Brazil in March 2022, FlorianĆ³polis, where we plan to live a new adventure for the next few months that will change our life foreverā¦ 
I definitely feel that learning from others is what makes us richer and that there is always more to learnā¦ Thatās also probably a way to make the world a better place 
Today I can speak French, Spanish and English fluently. I should practice again Italian as I have lost a lot of what I had learnt a few years back. I started to learn Portuguese, and I love to learn words/sentences in the languages of close people I meet: Turkish, Arabic, Urdu, Russian, Maori, Hebrewā¦ If only I had time to learn them all!
Otherwise, I am also a freelance Social Media moderator and a horse-riding teacher (My passion since I am 3yo) and currently doing a trust-technique course, which is more about taking the relationship with animals around us to another level and help every owner and animal make the best of their relationship.
I really look forward to meeting you all and take care!
Ć bientĆ“t,
Camille
