Description

Hey there ! I'm Louis, I'm 24 years old and I left Switzerland few month ago to explore Asia. I'm here to learn about people, culture, history and also to find my way. That's why I've joined the workaway community, to help, to be completely immersed in local life and also to pass on my knowledge.

In Switzerland, I have worked for eight years in civil ingineering during what I also did some houses constructions for a year. I really like to be outside, to work with my hands and with other people.
I was a little bored of my country life, which is why I quit my job and I'm now thirsty of new adventures !
Out of my job, I really enjoy to be in nature, for hiking, rock climbing, diving, ride a bike and doing some camping with friends.

I'm looking forward to meet new people and make some new experiences in every kind of job !

More details about your skills

What about my skills ?

By having worked in construction, i'm able to work manually and in difficult conditions. I spent my last working year as team leader in a small company. It was my first and i really enjoyed the experience. I like to work with other people, learn by them and pass my knoweledge as possible. I consider myself an open-minded, respectful and empathic person.

During my free time, i'm doing a lot of rock climbing, I know how to open a route and insure people. Hiking and go mountain biking are also in my favorite outside activities. I have my driver licence for cars and motorbikes and can do some transportations if needed.
These last years, I'm interesting about scuba diving, I've made few dives during my trip and passed my second level, the Padi advanced open water diver.

When I was younger, I used to do some babysitting to help my neighbors when they was working and get a bit of money during my studies. I also really like to take care of any kind of animals and sometimes doing some gardening.

From the beginning of my trip i'm taking a lot of pictures that i like to edit, which can be useful if you have some social networks to handle.

My native language is French. I've also learned English during three years at school and I'm still learning it and perfecting it by travelling, watching some movies and listening to music.

If someone wants to learn any of these competences, I will be pleased to transmit it !
