    PS : El texto es en ingles porque no tengo el tiempo para traducirlo en español ahorra, voy a hacerlo en los próximos días pero hablo español si quieres hablar conmigo. Y que te vaya bien amigo.

    Hello, I'm Guillaume from Paris and I am 27.
    I am the last in a family of 5. My dad knows everything (like all dads), he used to work in the car and after in the luxe industry, now he is in management. My mom is working in the art industry, she used to run an art gallery in matignon. My brother used to run his own restaurant in Paris in the10th district of Paris, the place to be ! Now he is in the real estate business. And my sister works in the digital business, I don’t understand her job but you are free to ask her what she is doing.

    To speak about me, I worked in real estate for 2 years before to go on a road trip in South America in June 19 because I was lost with my situation and that job. But you know, life is full of surprises and I've spent 10 months just in Chile because my plan failed, and I'm greateful for that, you’ll know the reason if you come in my place…
    To save money during those months I used workaway and I met amazing people with who I travelled, laught and did some really good parties !!!

    Now I live in our countryside house, it is a big and very comfy house with gardens and a pool, it is very quiet and peaceful.

    And I forgot, we have a black german shepherd of 6 months, a storm !!

    We have a lot of games, pétanque field, darts game, board games, cards and video games.
    We have also boxing bags and bikes, we can do running and fitness.
    We can cook foods in many different way, taste some bread, cheese and wine of course !
    I would love to share with you what I shared in chile cause my workaway experience was crazy and I learn a lot of stuff in hand working. So If you know wood/steal work (or other stuff) you are the man !

    What else ...

    You can do what you want with your time off in the house. If you want to visit some place I can drop you, go with you, we’ll figure it out.
    If I don’t go in Paris the weekend and if you want to go I can drop you at the train station and you can take the train. The train station is Paris Gare de Lyon.
    If you are staying for a little while and if I’m going to Paris, you could stay with me and meet my friends if you want or not, maybe you’ll prefer to make your own stuff by yourself in Paris or stay in our house in the countryside. We’ll see all that together.
