Description

Hello,

61 years old, motobiker Nomad for 3 years now.

After having lived in a Swiss eco-village in Lavaux (a UNESCO World Heritage site) from 2021 to 2024, I decided to try WWOOFing, and it has been a huge success: I enjoyed meeting dynamic people with positive energy and exciting projects, discovering new places, new activities (especially hands-on ones), lifestyles, languages, cultures, foods, and more.

I have always thrived in "tribes": summer camps (first as a child, then as a BAFA-certified counselor), team sports, and project team leadership (in the corporate world), as well as through my involvement in numerous associations (as a leader, member, parent, etc.).

Rather than a specific job, I am looking for a pleasant environment—characterized by kindness and authenticity—where I can flourish, keep smiling, and be of service to guests and others: a spirit of collaborative intelligence!

At the ecovillage, I used to handle minor technical tasks and various multidisciplinary duties.
I am known for being sociable, reliable, cheerful, and genuine. Above all, I love creating harmony and bringing smiles to people's faces, even on a small scale (like the hummingbird in Pierre Rabhi’s story).

I hope to hear from you and/or meet you.

Sincerely,
Jean-Michel

What else ...

I’m a gamer at heart: card games (Tarot, Belote, Jass), board games (TTMC, Quarto, Trio, Magic Maze...)... and word games, of course :-)

I love rugby and motorcycling (I’ve been a rider for over 45 years).

PS:
- I’m not much of a party animal (I don’t drink or smoke).
- I really enjoy good company and people (though not crowds or city life).
- I tend to be an early-to-bed, early-to-rise kind of person.
