Parisian-born Isabelle is a marine scientist, and a classically trained homeopath. She's also one of the women I interviewed back in 2018 for my book, Women Who Walk: How 20 Women From 16 Countries Came to Live in Portugal. Since then, she has moved from Portugal to Spain, and now that she's 'sort of retired' she's been active volunteering abroad, in particular, at Spikenard honeybee Sanctuary in Virginia, in the US, and in Tanzania with the organization Homeopathy For Health In Africa. More recently, she's been volunteering closer to home in Rota, Spain for an organization that helps victims of human trafficking.
