• Can you introduce yourself in a few words ?

My name is...

My name is Adriana Pizzi, I am 32 years old, I am Venezuelan and I did a master’s degree in ecotourism in Scotland where I lived for 3 years.
I am vegetarian, I love nature and travel. I am such a jovial person that I have wrinkles from smiling
I love living in the tropics and I’m in love with Abidjan.

Clémence is a student in Communication Specializing in Sustainable Development and CSR. Passionate about traveling and discovering new culture, she put her luggage in Abidjan for her 6-month end-of-study internship.

Julie is a development economist with a specialization in the design and engineering of development projects. A true globetrotter, she traveled from South America to Mexico via Ecuador where she was able to participate in the development of an association that defends women’s rights. She is also passionate about animals, which led her to coordinate a hippotherapy program with children with disabilities in the Galapagos.

Noémie is a dynamic young woman with an overwhelming desire to help. This Ile-de-France resident has volunteered in several associations serving a variety of audiences: Resto du cœur, Relais bébé and retirement homes.

I came to know the non-profit Train & Travel in 2019 thanks to its training program DUST (Becoming a Solidarity Tourism Specialist) in which I participated.

I applied in June with colleagues to Worldskills’program Be Change Maker Africa (BCM) in partnership with the African Union and HP. I had no idea about how much I would gain from this adventure.
