    Travelling

  • Description

    Hello everyone,

    After three years working in Belgium as an architect, I've finally decided to travel. I've been talking about traveling for several years, but never dared to take the plunge because I don't speak any language other than French. Now I feel that the time is right for me to embark on an adventure.

    I'm joining this platform to give myself the opportunity to travel more slowly, to take my time to discover new cultures, new people, new ways of life, new mentalities, to learn a new language but also to help people build beautiful projects.

    My friends often describe me as curious and caring. I love learning and getting involved in the projects I take part in. I'm not afraid of physical work and I enjoy doing manual tasks. For example, I've already worked as a seasonal worker in the vineyards, where teamwork and community life are part of everyday life. I love sharing, nature, music and authenticity!

    I'm looking forward to my first tasks and to meeting you!
    See you soon :D

  • More details about your skills

    At the end of my secondary school, I was looking for a discipline that combined intellectual and manual work with an artistic sense, and so I turned to architectural studies. These studies enabled me to acquire critical thinking skills, as well as cultural and basic knowledge of the construction industry.
    During my studies, to gain experience and earn some pocket money, I worked in the French vineyards, where I discovered community life and teamwork, which I really appreciated.
    After graduating, I was hired by a small architectural office where I worked mainly on private projects (single-family homes, extensions to single-family homes, gîtes, holiday homes, etc.). The small structure of the architectural office enabled me to take part in all the tasks involved in being an architect and to deepen my knowledge of construction. My job also gave me a certain amount of autonomy in managing different projects and the office.

    Today, I'm looking to learn new things in several areas: I'd like to continue enriching my knowledge of the construction industry, and in particular of alternative, bio-sourced and responsible construction; I'd also like to learn a new language (Spanish and why not English?), discover new cultures and ways of life, and meet new and enriching people. I enjoy contact with nature and working outdoors.
