Hi everyone.
We are Melanie & Pierre-Luc, a French speaking couple ( SWISS + FR ), early 30's.
We decided a year 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 is 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 are eager to meet new persons through interesting projects. That will be a great occasion to share our competences, and learn from yours.
We are curious, really involved in what we do, and longing for meaningful experiences.
Don't hesitate to contact us, we'll reply as soon as we can.
We now travel in India until end of September and then Nepal until December
Hope to meet you soon !

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.Age
