  • Description

    I am an energetic and communicative person who loves to learn about other cultures, new skills close to nature and how to respect it and make it sustainable for locals, as for tourists who would search to disconnect from modern society, seek discomfort to learn more about connecting to their inner-selves and to nature in the outmost respectful ways. I am at my peak happiness when sharing true and honest deep talks with open minded people eager to get out of their comfort zone. My favorite subject are science, books, theology, history and cultures in any possible ways. I always love to bring up annecdotic historical facts in conversation such as "Have you ever heard why we cheers before drinking?" or in science such as "Want me to vulgarise what time relativity or the 3 body problem means?". But I also love to juste observe the magnificience of the univers in many ways, such as stargazing, sunsets, campfires or animals behaviors in their natural habitat.

  • More details about your skills

    I have experience in hospitality as I was an all-round entertainer for 2 years in Spain giving mostly sports activity like aquagym, aerobics, stretching, meditation, horseriding with a nearby ranch, bike tours, hiking tours, archery, baby gun shooting, children activities,...

    In bartending with my 4 years experience as a barista and hotels with my two years as night watcher for late check ins out of reception open hours.

    I also have experience with music, but didn't play or own guitar for more than 10 years. I still know how to sing and could accompany guitar or piano with french, english and spanish songs.

    My main natural skill I would say is to put people at ease and create a friendly, positive funny vibe when in a group, and leading people to connect to each others without needing to be the only attraction, but through effeciently breaking the ice between them so that they go on with the conversation on themselves.

    I have experience in secourism as I am a firefighter and paramedic for 7 years (now in a 2 years career break) and handy with tools due to my experience as a volunteer in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. I am also a fast learner who is not affraid of hard tasks, can quickly adapt to situations, or facing dangerous situation by analysing all potential dangers and clearly overseeing what firefighters call, the dangerous zone for no one to approach, the isolation zone for only the people trained and equiped for this type of danger, and the free zone out of any potential dangers, and therfore create a secure environment for guests.

  • What else ...

    I know chess, uno, poker and few other card games, an I am very proud to say I am a very good loser, who loves the participation chocolate medal and feel content to it when i play. I am also very fond of meditation and willing to learn anything about yoga, tai chi, martial arts in general.

    I have a food and energy self-sustainable project still only at the state of idea that I would like to develop in a warm country, I am therefore eager to learn anything I could on the matter during my stay.

    I also wish to write my own heroic fantasy book, so any experience in writing, but also for the creation of characters in military, surviving skills or long journey at sea or with horses in isolated region would be very interesting for me to share.
