Hello there, My name is Mathilde and i am a 19 years old history student based in Paris, even though home will always be in the South West of France. I grew up in a few places including la Martinique (belonging to the French Carribeans) where my love for the ocean and nature started. Growing up on these beaches and getting salty with the beautiful marine creatures there was really magical. In the past 4 years i really began focusing on according my lifestyle with my value. It became really important to me to do the less harm i could and be as eco-friendly as possible. It began with me stopping eating meat around 14 years old and totally switching my family's behavior as well. Then my sister and i started being more conscious of the amount of single use item we were using. And now we try to better ourselves by being more meaningful in our daily life! When i came back to France from la Martinique, i never quit being in the water (even if it was a pool or a cold lake). I was a synchronized swimmer for a while, then a competitive swimmer and finally a lifesaver! That's where i got the skills to teach a few kids around me how to swim pretty well. At school i always loved sport, english and history and well, nothing has changed! I gained a pretty good english level by reading, watching movie and being interested and it paid off. I would feel confident learning this language to a group because i already did that through my high school years. I am a really joyful and positive person, trying to do more good than harm on this planet.
