Description
Bonjour,
Je m'appelle Jean-Baptiste, j'ai 31 ans et vis en ce moment en région parisienne.
Ingénieur informatique de formation (domaine que je suis en train de quitter définitivement par ailleurs), j'ai depuis longtemps une attirance pour les travaux manuels et agricoles et ai eu différentes occasions de m'y initier via le réseau Wwoofing en France, dans des domaines comme la permaculture ou l'apiculture.
L'an dernier, j'ai décidé de tout quitter pour faire une année sabbatique (de février 2023 à février 2024), pendant laquelle je suis parti bourlinguer en Europe. De l'Espagne à la Norvège, j'ai vécu mille expériences enrichissantes ; le réseau Workaway m'a permis de faire de très belles rencontres et de me former à de nombreux domaines, comme la sylviculture, la maçonnerie, le jardinage, l'élevage, l'hôtellerie...
Maintenant revenu en France, je reste avec l'envie de continuer ces belles expériences, sans partir aussi loin - d'où cette description uniquement en VF. :)
Que dire de plus ? Mes passions principales incluent l'escalade, la danse, la randonnée, la lecture...
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer !

Bien que citadin d'origine, j'ai eu maintenant pas mal d'occasions, par les réseaux Wwoofing ou Workaway, de m'initier à différents travaux manuels ou agricoles.
J'ai quelques notions de maraîchage, de gestion d'animaux de fermes, sais me servir d'une hache et d'une tronçonneuse, ai déjà conduit un tracteur, etc... (Bien que les rappels ne soient jamais inutiles, bien sûr. =))

Andy is a really funny guy, always full of communicative energy but also deeply laid-back, which is a great mix to have in a 'boss'. :) He and the other workawayers immediately made me feel welcome.
For half the week, the work consisted of helping with the English Camp,… read more
We did a lot of gardening and handiwork stuff : planted some aloe vera, oaks and cacti, transported lots of stones and put them around the plants and on the paths around the house, a bit of tiling…… read more

Contenido:
JB was a great help in what is a very busy time at our finca. We met in Barcelona where we spent a few days together and then he spent 2 1/2 weeks with us at the finca. He was quick to learn lots of new skills : using the chainsaw, olive pruning, lots of gardening particularly controling the weeds. We made meals together… read more
The work was varied enough, and I learnt a lot about different topics through all of it: olive trees pruning, umweeding, lime mortar repointing - a topic about which Jon has a really strong opinion he's ever… read more
