Hi everyone!
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 to see the famous French writer Victor Hugo mention it in several of his books⊠
It has an interesting history BUT it is also a cold and rainy place. Do you picture the famous British weather? Well, it is about the sameâŠ
). I soon wanted to travel and discover new places.
I first went to study as an Erasmus for a year in the middle of
Ireland
(Athlone). It was such a great experience (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 could not speak any English when I got there (school classes were a total fail for me) and I had to go through quite a few 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 5 of them⊠
I came back to France for a few months where I studied as well with foreigners whom I loved to help learn some French.
Later, I left again as an Erasmus for 6 months in
Spain
(Santander, Cantabria) where I learnt Spanish 
After those amazing experiences I wanted another challenge and live outside Europe⊠I was also dying to experience the âflip-flop lifeâ, 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 Caribbean⊠That ended up in almost 3 years living in PARADISE.
After 6 months, I launched my company in tourism and made sure that everyone who came on the island would have an amazing AUTHENTIC time there.
BUT: am I the only one here for who it is difficult to settle somewhere long-term? I am in love with DR, but I felt I still wanted to travel around for a whileâŠ
So I started a Working Holiday Visa in January 2020, in
New Zealand
. I was lucky to spend there 2 blessed years away from Covid-19 
During this amazing experience with my partner Tristan (who is also a French tutor on Chatterbug), we spent 3 months in the
Cook islands
: On Rarotonga and Aitutaki. It felt lovely to enjoy the tropical island vibes again. It will also always remain a very special place to us as it is where I got pregnant. It came along as a surprise and we decided to go on with it⊠
SO, after thinking about what could be our next plans according to our situation, we decided to move to
Brazil
in March 2022. We lived in FlorianĂłpolis for a year, where our little girl Luna was born 2 months later 
We loved everything about the South of Brazil, which is what we got to discover.
In June 2024, our second daughter Naya was born in Mexico 
I definitely feel that learning from others is what makes us richer and that there is always more to learn⊠Thatâs also probably a way to make the world a better place 
Beside all this, I also am a Social Media Freelance Moderator and a horse-riding teacher (My passion since I am 3yo).
I am currently doing a Trust-Technique course, which is more about taking the relationship with animals to another level and help every owner and animal make the best of their relationship. It is a bit like a mix a Reiki and animal communication.
Today I can speak French, Spanish and English fluently. I would love to speak Italian again someday: Practice makes it all! And I could not keep it up in the last years.
I also started to learn Brazilian Portuguese since we arrived in Brazil, which is now kind of messing up my Spanish 

I love to learn words/sentences in the languages of close people I meet: Turkish, Arabic, Urdu, Russian, Maori, Hebrew⊠If only I had time to learn them all! 
I really look forward to meeting you all and get to know about you (In French)!
Ă bientĂŽt,
Camille
