Travelling
Description
Hi everyone, I'm Greg!
I'm a 26 year old French on my way back of a years hitchhiking trip :)
Friends often draw me as a joyful and dynamic person, which I hope I am.
I like to organise stuff and to discover new things, traveling being one of my favorite activities (with sport and music)!
I am a civil engineer and wish to live in a more nature-respectful manner, the aim of my trip is to learn different ways of building with local resources :)

More details about your skills
I've graduated as a civil engineer two years ago, and have been working as a site manager since in French Guiana. I've worked a year on a biomass project at Voltalia and a year on a construction site (a lotissement). Over these two years (and with other past experiences) I've have learned and experienced all kinds of work, going from the earthwork to the painting. I must precise that my knowledge is mostly theoritical, for I have seen and followed the works but wasn't in the realization team.
I will join a construction site for several weeks in January to help build a farm and cottage, this will be manual work.
Otherwise I believe I have good social skills, I get on easily with people and like to share with others. I am also eager to learn and am always willing to try!
I've always lived in flat sharing situations or with several siblings so I've always been used to living with other people and participating in everyday tasks.

First the place is wonderful, it is close to Ozurgeti so you can go the market easily but it's still totally immerge in nature! There is a huge garden and a creek at the bottom of it, you can also access to the river a bit further. It's a very resourceful place :)
The work is interesting, I did… read more
I am very happy that you have been to see me twice now and that you came back very quickly.
The whole idea of my finca and my life here is based on encounters like this.
Thank you for everything, and see you very soon!
