Hi! :)
I'm a 51 years man, born in France, and I speak fluent French/English/Spanish. I use to be a volunteer since 2014 all around the world as I'm positive, open-minded, tidy and a handy man, able to work in autonomy.
I was a Telecommunication engineer in Argentina in the mid '90s, then I became a journalist, a novel writer, a speech synthesis consultant, a secondary actor in cinema, a photographer, a 3D modeller in computer graphics. In parallel with those official jobs, I refurbished old houses during 20 years, doing all by myself.
I've got skills in gardening, permaculture, cooking, hostel reception, guests entertainment, restaurant & bar service, general maintenance, car repair, computers, photography, construction, sustainability, carpentry, plumbing... And I'm a top-man sailor on a tall three-masted ship.
I like to learn new things and to share/teach what I already know.
