Description
Hello there! 🐙
I’m Adrien, half french & english(sorta), currently travelling around in my camping-car, Tofu 🚐 (6m x 2.9m)), and looking for meaningful places, good people and hands-on projects along the way.
🛠️ I’m especially on a quest (🏰dream*) to deepen my practical skills — woodwork, general handiness, refurbishment, renovation and eco-construction . I love learning by doing, getting my hands dirty and figuring things out. Creative optimisation is my core skill, I believe. I travel with my own tools so I’m always happy to jump into a building or maintenance project.
🌱 I also have experience and interest in farming and working outdoors, so I’m more than happy to help around with gardens, land and general farm work.
However, due to lack of clarity in previous experiences, I'd like to be clear that this is not what I'm looking for as a whole experience. My main focus is on building & eco constructions. Unless exceptions !
💻 I’m a digital nomad and freelancer, working across different fields such as websites, content, copywriting, photography and workshops. This means I occasionally need to take a morning, afternoon or day to work, but I’m generally very happy to adapt my schedule around a project and contribute where I can. Or if needed, compensate finanially. (adrien.land)
🧘Beyond the practical side, I’m very drawn to environments centred around mindfulness, slowness and awareness. I’ve spent time exploring meditation and Buddhist practices, and I really appreciate places where people take the time to connect, live consciously and create a sense of community. 🫀
My main affiliations are :
- Plum Village tradition (Thich Nhat Hanh), having lived with the monastics and worked for them a while !
- Mahasi Vipassana (also having done Goenka Vipassana & 10days retreats)
- Many other practices that have drawn my curiosity ! (Jhana / Kasina/TMI... [list goes on!]...
🏰 My longer-term dream is to eventually create or be part of *something* built around mindfulness, creativity, human connection and self-sustainability.
For now, I’m in the exploration phase — travelling, learning from people who live differently, and collecting as many skills and experiences as I can along the way.
Thank you for reading !

What else ...
I'm quite independant thanks to my spaceship. (Cooking tools / Showering/ Electricity/Sleeping...)
Meaning that if you can only welcome 1 workawayer because your facilities are limieted. You mayb be able to welcome me if you have a nice parking spot for extra human power ! (6m long spaceship)
Also, I've been a Workawayer host in a community for 2years. Meaning that I can understand your experience with anything volonteer handling ! -

The tools were good ! Which isn't always the case in volunteer experiences.
Living quarters were comfy.
