Developer of touristic projects and tours with purpose
Passionate, curious, food lover, positive minded, amazed by the world diversity.
After a rich university career that combined foreign languages, management and international professional trainings, I fell in love with Ecuador. A country that is little known, authentic and wild. I saw there a significant potential for the development of a sustainable and responsible tourism. Thus, I decided to create a travel agency, Narwell tours, to highlight natural and cultural wealth of not very well-known rural areas on the region of Manabí.
6 years later, I came back to France to join the associate programme On Purpose in the Social Economy sector. It allowed me to acquire new skills and to assist impact-driven structures, to join purpose and values with a viable economic model.
Now, I want to assist structures to implement projects or tours in the agri-food and gastronomy sectors, while maximizing the positive impact of these actions. My objective is to create bridges between different cultures, to encourage the interactions and the self-improvement.
