Description
Hi everyone.
We are Melanie & Pierre-Luc, a French speaking couple ( SWISS + FR ), early 30's.
We decided two years ago that it was time for us to change our life. We want to travel across the world to embrace new cultures, change our way of thinking and learn to live better with less.
We left our jobs, packed our bags, and started our trip with one year in New Zealand. The occasion for us to discover the Vanlife by exploring this wonderful country, its incredible landscapes and wild life. We also had a lot of time to enjoy many outdoor activities we like to do, especially hiking & diving. That was a good start to change our former way of living :).
However, the heart of our project was to evolve through cultural exchanges. And by traveling for more than a year, we understood that working with someone is the best way to really understand him. That's why we were eager to meet new persons through interesting projects, in order to share our competences, and learn from other's. That's why we spent 1 year in Asia, discovering the amazing cultures of India, Nepal, Laos, Japan, Philippines, China and South Korea.
A really intense year filled with cultural wealth and great encounters.
We are now in latine America and will discover this continent for our last year of travel. We are curious, really involved in what we do, and longing for meaningful experiences.
Therefore, do not hesitate to contact us, we'll reply as soon as we can.
Hope to meet you soon !

More details about your skills
We can help with mostly all kind of work.
Melanie is good with animals (especially horses since she is a horse rider for 20 years ), can perform any gardening works, some building works like painting and constructing. She also likes to work outside and good for landscaping too.
Pierre-Luc is a former rugby player, so he can handle all physical works. He likes to work outside, can perform several mechanical works, and is not so bad in building works also since he helped to renew and modify an old house 2 years ago.
But our greater skill is that we are eager to learn new abilities, and we are hard workers.
