  • Maelle, former Working Holiday Visa holder in Australia

    After an au pair stay in the Netherlands, a year in Australia on a Working Holiday Visa , and a trip to Southeast Asia, I continued my desire to explore the world by studying in Scotland. My studies were punctuated by university exchanges in Mexico and Italy, as well as numerous trips throughout Europe. Graduating in the midst of the pandemic, I worked for an NGO before spending eight months in Canada and Latin America. Today, I offer my experience to you at Languages ​​& Travel, with particular expertise in Australia, Latin America, Italy, and Scotland.
