Description
Bonjour,

Mon copain Titouan et moi sommes deux ingénieurs de 26 ans en voyage jusqu’à Tahiti sans avion depuis novembre 2025. Nous sommes partis de Lyon en France et comptons rejoindre la presqu’île Tahitienne où habitent la famille de Titouan.
La première étape est une transatlantique en voilier que nous sommes entrain de terminer. Notre arrivée se fera en Martinique ce qui nous donne l’occasion de visiter et découvrir cette île plusieurs jours/semaines avant de repartir en direction de la Polynésie.
On adore profiter de chaque étape de notre voyage et préférons prendre notre temps sur chaque étape pour s’imprégner des paysages, des cultures et des personnes rencontrés. Ca été le cas pour les Canaries et le Cap vert, et maintenant c’est au tour de la Martinique !
Finalement nous ferons un crochet sur le continent sud américain avant de retrouver un bateau en partance pour le Pacifique dans quelques mois.

Les hôtels all-inclusive c’est pas trop notre truc ni l’esprit du voyage. L’idée est de pouvoir rencontrer des personnes dans leur quotidien et s’ils le veulent bien, accepter notre venue en échange de notre mise à disposition. Que ce soit pour du jardinage, de la rénovation, de l’entretien, du bricolage, de la garde ou encore de la cuisine, nous serions ravis de mettre nos mains à la patte !

Titouan adore surfer, pêcher, et faire du jardinage et de la couture. Moi j’adore lire, la peinture, le sport et organiser des voyages . Évidemment on aime trop randonner que ce soit sur plusieurs jours en bivouac ou flâner en ville ou sur des plages.

On a hâte de vous rencontrer ! À bientôt ! ;)

Nous savons faire preuve de bon sens et de débrouillardise. Donc tout type de travaux manuels, de la rénovation ou du jardinage, on devrait pouvoir s’en sortir. Suffit de nous expliquer au moins une fois, après on devrait y arriver ;)

Titouan a des parents artisans chocolatiers qui font pousser leur cacao à Tahiti. Mon père est dans le service à la personne. On a donc l’habitude de donner des coups de mains en dépannant nos parents sur certaines périodes. Demandez-leur, ils vous diront que y’a pas mieux comme main d’œuvre.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Join us in our oasis and ...)

My boyfriend and I spent 10 days there. 7 days on the workaway and 3 days in a trek organized by Santi in the colca canyon.
My review is mostly about the trek which has been a very bad experience for us.
Concerning the workaway, we had a great time, we met a lot of people. This is an experience out of time where you can relax after a few hours of… read more work (weeding, bioconstruction, cleaning, making the famous cacamix). Beautiful viewpoints over the oasis, wonderful sunsets, cute cats, a small piece of paradise actually. Swimming in the natural pools felt so good and everyone cooked tastefull dishes everyday. The only negative point was that Santi and Lili don't really care about the volunteers, when your arrive it's only other volunteers that have a long talk with you, explain how it works here, what you'll have to do. You are on your own. Its not a problem at all, it happens in life but its not what we expected when coming here. Moreover when they invite people, volunteers have to serve them which is quite weird. You could feel the difference of treatment which is special in a place where you should share equally with everybody.

About the trek, I really recommend you NOT to go. Santi who is supposed to be a "professional high mountain guide" put us in very risky situations. We crossed several landslides (while trying to cross one, I even fell), we hiked from 5 am to 8 pm so everybody was completely exhausted even if the hike was quite accessible when you are used to hike (20km with +1000m ascent). Then Santi wanted to share his culture and made severals ceremonies along the hike, which was very interesting at first because people here have this connexion with the mountains, nature and animals, the Pachamama. But then all the others and him took wachuma and smoked weed at the top of the hike and it put them in a very emotional state which is quite dangerous knowing the way back. Especially if you are not used to hike these distances. Plus for some of them it was the first time to take these "medicines".
While the night was coming, Santi choose a "shorter way" but it wasn't even a way, it was a former canal where sometimes you have to walk on a 20 cm wide path with the cliff just next to you, this was after more than 12 hours in the mountains. When I said to Santi that it was dangerous and that i didnt feel good after this part, he laughed at me.
Finally at dinner we shared all our feelings and what he replied was "you should have opened your mind, you always want to control, you have weak minds," letting us know that we should have had the wachuma and smoked pot. He said he is open minded but then when you don't agree with him, he gets mad, judges you without knowing you and doesn't even try to understand your feelings. I think "respect" is a two-way thing. He always said "you have to be humble with the mountains" and then he is completely inconscious about the danger thinking he is unbeatable.
Plus he was smoking weed while driving us with the excuse that "he knows himself", using his phone while driving, ignoring speed limits (and im not talking about 5 or 10 kmh over).
So okay, we are not perfect as well, we made mistakes in our lives, we still have to know ourselves but if i have to care about a group as a mountain guide, i stay clean ! I try to make them feel safe and will never try to increase risks even tho there are always risks during hikes or even while driving.
I didn't tell everything because there were too many things to explain, I just wanted to warn you. I hope not but accidents happen.
Beautifull hike by the way, wonderfull pachamama surrounding us, many many waterfalls. A great discovery!
