About Me

Je fais du volontariat depuis 5 ans en Europe et Amérique, via workaway, helpix, couchsurfing, oasis, humanitaire ou tout type de rencontre. Je vais par-ci par-là donner des coups de main en échange de chaleur humaine. Au début c'était pour un voyage, maintenant c'est pour la vie. J'ai quitté le monde du travail et les interactions d'argent qui sont trop pauvres humainement et qui détournent du bonheur.
À l'origine je suis dans la construction. J'ai construits des ouvrages en béton, blocs manufacturés, briques, bois, pierre, terre, bambou et même en écorce, et une yourte et un igloo. J'ai ensuite aidé dans beaucoup de fermes, surtout en maraichage, qui m'intéresse aujourd'hui plus que la construction. J'ai beaucoup pratiqué d'artisanat traditionnel (sans électricité) : tour à bois à perche, métier à tisser vertical, tissage au peigne, poterie en fosse, sculpture, couture, mosaïque.
J'aime cuisiner et je peux m'occuper d'enfants. J'ai vécu un an dans une communauté avec des enfants et j'ai été moi-même hôte durant cette période.
J'aime la montagne comme une terre sacrée. Je pratique régulièrement toute forme d'art et de spiritualité. Je m'intéresse à la survie dans la nature et aux plantes comestibles.
Je suis extrême de l'écologie et de la protection de la nature. Je ne juge pas et ne critique pas mais je me sens mal à l'aise dans des atmosphères destructrices. Je reste rarement plus de 2 semaines car les efforts écologiques ne me suffisent jamais. J'essaye de m'adapter et faire des efforts car je sais que je suis trop extrême. Mon seul impact écologique est mon téléphone.
Je suis vegan ou freegan, mais je peux m'adapter ou me débrouiller tout seul.
Je suis chiant avec l'écologie mais je crois bien que c'est mon seul défaut :) Je suis tout le temps de bonne humeur, motivé, inspiré.
Au plaisir de se rencontrer !

I do volunteering since five years in Europe or America with workaway, helpix, couchsurfing, oasis, humanitar or other kind of meeting. I go wandering between each place for help in exchange for friendship. At the beginning it was for travel, now it's for life. I left the job and money world what is not enough fraternal and too far of happiness.
At the beginning I worked on construction. I built buildings with concrete, bricks, wood, stone, earth, straw, bamboo or bark, and a yurt and an igloo. Next I helpt in some farm with vegetables, and now that interest me more than construction. I practiced a lot of traditional craft (without electricity) : weaving machin, pole lathe Bench (wood turning), pottery, sculptur, sewing, weaving, mosaic.
I like to cook and I can help with childrens. I lived one year in a Community with childs and I was workaway host during this time.
I love mountains. I practice often all kind of art and spirituality. I'm interested by edable plants and wild survival.
I'm extremist with ecology and nature protect. I Don't critisize others but I feel bad in destructive atmosphere.
I stay generaly no more than 2 weeks because ecology of the place is not enough for me. I try to adapt myself with others for don't stay too extrem. My only ecology impact is my phone.
I'm vegan or freegan, but I can adapt myself or take care of myself.
I'm eannoying with ecology but I think it's my only failure :) I'm generaly happy, inspireted and motivated.
Hope to meet you !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like meet a lot of people and discover a lot of culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

Folk, Irish songs, french pop-rock songs, reggae, child songs...
I'd rather play music than listen music.
I don't like movies, or just animated for childrens.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have climbing a cliff of 300 meter, gone up on top of a mountain pick of 5000 meters, to swim in underground lakes, to cross a several miles cave. Parachute jump.
To walk from France to Croatia and from Colombia to Peru without spend any money. To sleep outdoor at 0°F. To spend one month into mountains without seeing anybody.
But performance is just illusion. The most incredible adventure is life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach French, several sports, some technical built, wild knowledge, arts, craft, cooking, guitar, banjo, ukulele, flute, my culture and my experience with Earth.

All people and cultures have something to teach.
