Description

Hello!

My name is Benoît, and I'm a freelance developer and co-founder, with a graphic designer friend, of a small communication agency based in Brittany ( France). Before transitioning to tech, I worked as a journalist for 7 years, writing for environmental magazines — an experience that shaped my values and my approach to meaningful work.

I work remotely, which gives me the freedom to travel while staying productive.

I joined Workaway to experience the world authentically — not just as a tourist, but by immersing myself in local communities, learning from different cultures, and contributing meaningfully wherever I go.

I'm looking for long stays (1-3 months or more) to really integrate into your project and community, build lasting relationships, and make a meaningful contribution.

What I can offer:

- Tech skills: web development, digital solutions, and online presence optimization

- Communication expertise: writing, content creation, storytelling (from my journalism background)
Support for eco-friendly or social impact projects — causes I genuinely care about

- General hands-on help — I love learning new skills, whether it's permaculture, construction, or something completely unexpected

- A curious mind, positive energy, and good conversations !

I'm naturally open-minded, adaptable, and value sustainable living. I believe the best experiences come from genuine human connections and shared values.

Looking forward to creating memorable experiences together!

More details about my language interests
I speak French and English, and I’m currently learning Spanish and a little bit of Breton. I love exploring new languages — their sounds, their structures, and the different ways they reflect how people think and see the world.

More details about your skills

As a developer, I can help with IT and digital projects whenever needed.
At the same time, I really enjoy manual work as a refreshing change from my daily routine. I grew up in the countryside, where I learned early on to help with gardening, chopping wood, taking care of animals, and even joining in on building and renovation projects.
I’m always happy to learn new skills and get involved wherever an extra hand is needed.
