Description

Hi, I'm Etienne :)
I am a 24 yo french guy who might be reserved at the beginning of a relationship but opens up with some time.

People describe me both as a dreaming artist, and a pragmatic thinker.
I am fascinated by The Little Prince, sunsets and Cavetown music and I really enjoy drawing, painting, playing the trumpet or the ukulele, and singing.
On the other hand, I love talking about urban planning, mental health, LGBT issues, psychology of learning, life paths, astronomy, philosophy and so on. I still have a lot of things to learn, but I am not afraid about complex sujects and I can understand many viewpoints!

I like to think that we can find happiness by listening to our inner child and doing the things we want to do in the moment. For me, in the moment, I'm driven by the desire to travel, to open my mind, to learn new skills and to use my hands a lot more than I have done before!

What else ...

I am a transgender person. Basically, it doesn't change anything except that I use he/they pronouns. But if you personnaly can't handle this, then I would prefer not to share a Workaway experience with you. On the other hand, I don't care if you are unfamiliar with it, as long as you are respectful. I would be happy to talk with you about it if you want, and I would be ok not talking about it at all too!
