Description
We are two young adults taking some time off from our respective jobs in France to travel and explore New-Zealand with our toddler, willing to knock around, surf, hike and learn to live off grid as we grew up in the french countryside but left years ago and went to life in town for our studies
We currently live in France in Toulouse, capital of the South-West region
Alexandre
29 yo mechanical engineer, used to travel a lot as a child with my flight attendant family and lived in Singapour when I started my carrer in tunnel boring. I haven't been abroad since the pandemic and I'm a eager to discover the beautiful landscape and reconnect with nature.
I love hiking and fixing stuff, used to wander, fish and camp in the mountains.
Flying tiny planes is something i sometimes do on weekends (I hold a EASA private pilot license)
I can help with any maintenance and repair of machine, appliances etc.
Am hands-on, easy going and easy to feed ;)
Camille
30 yo psychiatrist, I traveled around Europe and few times in Asia, used to live with rommates, play flute in bands and pictured myself as a hiker/surfer.
Cool babysitter, specialised in cookies/pancakes, telling tales and explaining human anatomy.
I ve done wooffing in Italy and hosted coachsurfers, don't have lots of practical skills but hard worker and not afraid to get my hands dirty
Gaël
The tiniest of the crew, born in 2022, tree leaves lover, trained mashed potatoes eater. I would like to expercience the wilderness. I can provide fun and noisy distraction but I'm more skilled in destruction than construction.
