Description
I'm Fred, used to be baker and sell my bakery 2 month ago. I love meet people, learn different cultures and way of life. I used to travel in Asia but i realised the most important is not to travel in a rush, but just share with people. I grow up in a farm in France, In my backery i used to have some trainees (from Mali, Guinea, Centrafrique) il love to teach people what i know. I'm also very curious, love to learn new things, i've done many different jobs in France.
The main thing is that i want to be closer to nature and people, give all i can, give and learn from the people. For me gardening, cooking and teaching are just natural things. In France i love swimming, cycling and walking. I think i'm older than a majority of the Workawayers, it's make me more self autonomous, for me a five star hotel is sleep in a tent in the forest or on the beach. I used to live in England and Australia a long time ago, to start my exploration i want to go in an African country, just to live the stories that my trainees talk to me during 2 years when we were doing the bread. I'm looking forward very keenly just to share good things with good people.

The stay with Boniface and his familly with my friend Steve was great ! We stayed there one week, spend some time playing with the kids, cooking, planting trees, teaching french. His place has great location because it's close to a small village and close to Kakamega (around 12mn with a motorbike). His familly is great; we've visited Kakamega… read more

We spend many times having… read more

I spent 3 weeks at this place in January and february. I really enjoy it, the place where the volonters are is a huge house with a really modern kitchen, with big beds it's really luxury. The house and the school are 45mn walk from the village, but it made the place really quite. The teachers, the people who work in the school are great, there i… read more
