Currently in Sydney, I'm available from now on to help you in your projects !

Description

Growing up in France, I studied and became an engineer in a field that I proudly care about : the environment and water sciences. Working in Australia on an industrial site with a local team taught me essential skills such as field, communication and adaptability. Today, after a Working Holiday Visa in New Zealand, I am travelling back to France without taking the plane. My first step was to sail from New Zealand to Sydney, where I broke my foot during a storm in November 2025. I'm now staying in Sydney to heal properly and do my physio rehab. I'm looking for cultural experience in Sydney, willing to help on whatever tasks you need ☺️ I'm planning to stay for around 6more months in Sydney, until I heal completely and I am ready to leave again, with my heavy backpack, trekking and sailing.
