Originally from the Basque Country, I grew up with a strong culture, which contributed to my attraction to languages and different cultures. The journey was like a call for me. I have travelled mainly in Latin America, but also in Spain and Portugal. During my travels, I discovered, compared and tested other forms of education, either in local schools, or simply by exchanging with other travellers from all over the world.

I have chosen to give my time to pass on my knowledge to local children in the form of workshops: cooking workshops in Guatemala, guitar and ukulele initiation in Mexico, surfing lessons in Colombia. My language level has therefore improved considerably. I now speak English and Spanish fluently. These 2 languages give me a great opening to the world.

Between two trips, I went back to France for a year to obtain a BPJEPS APT (Physical Activity for All). I am delighted with the education of the children. I like to pass on what makes me tick and offer a maximum of varied activities so that the child can blossom and develop his or her own abilities. I worked for a year in the leisure centre of Bassusarry in the Basque Country where I was able to test and develop a wide range of activities with a large number of children aged between 3 and 16 years old.

After a final trip, I decided to move to Annecy, the city that inspires me so much, and I am delighted to be working as an activity leader for the Ebihs since the start of the 2019 school year. My aim is to teach English to children, in the form of a variety of games, in an atmosphere of mutual help and kindness.
