Description
Hello, I'm Mathias.

I'm from south east of France, near Nice and Cannes.

I worked as an engineer for 4 years and I just resign my job to go discover the world, meet new people and live good moments.

I love to meet new people to know how they live, what make them happy and help them in their projects.

If I had to, I would describe myself as a quiet person, who know how to enjoy both peaceful moments and times to have fun. Oh and if you plan to go for a drink, you can definitely count me in ;)

I'm intersted in all what is related to DIY, permaculture and gardening in general, nature and wildlife, music and cooking.

I'm not afraid of tough work and I'll try my best to present my skills in my profile.

I wish you the best on your way :)

More details about your skills
DIY and general maintenance skills :

I'm used to do general house maintenance work, such as unclog sinks, repair or replace broken stuff and various other usual tasks like painting and sanding.

I can also build some simple wooden structures (I've build greenhouses for crops and wooden terraces to retain ground). I want to learn more things regarding carpentry.

When I was a student, I worked as a mecanic at my father's car workshop during summer holidays. So I do the routine maintenance on my cars, and sometimes more complicated tasks when I can get the appropriate tools and parts.

I would be glad to help you in your various property maintenance tasks, building and renovative projects, and in your car maintenance as well.

Permaculture:

For several years I have been doing permaculture on my parent's land and it interests me a lot (from sowing to harvesting).
Every season, I prepare the soil, sow, plant, tend to the crops and harvest. Here in the south of France we have grown tomatoes, peppers, squashs, cucumbers and salads.

I also did preservation, such as pickles, sterilization and drying.

Gardening :

Basic gardening tasks such as weeding by hand, mow the lawn, plant and take care of trees.

Cooking :

I'm used to cook a lot for my family. I think my interest in cooking started in waching my grand mother cooking famous italian and french meals in my childhood.
Now I love to cook various meals from all sorts of countries : french (of course), italian, american and asian. I would be glad to cook things for you and learn about your country's cuisine.

We had a wonderful experience with Mathias last summer, he came as far as Vassan in Abitibi to help us in our project!

There is at least one reason to go there : Meet Dana and Phil !

Mathias was a pleasure to host. We shared work, shared stories, had some great conversations and a few laughs. He did some of the cooking and lots of the dishes (which was awesome!). Overall, Mathias was a great workawayer, who took initiative, and helped us out with multiple projects. He is now considered our good friend and is welcome to come… read more

We hosted Mathias for 2 weeks and have to admit it was a very pleasant experience.

I stayed 2 weeks with Verena, Bert and Ziemowit. They included me in their team just after they picked me up. They made me feel so confortable that I felt I was visiting members of my family.
They are very kind and funny people to go around with, they were always nearby in case I needed anything, either during work or free time.

Mathias stayed for two weeks in June. He helped me with insulation, plates (the inner walls) and cooking. Mathias got different carpenter tasks with different difficulties. He really learned to be a carpenter! Over the weekend, we went to Oslo to see Holmenkollen, The castle, government buildings, and Hovedoya. We also had a nice time barbequing… read more

Mathias visited us for one week in August, and was a very polite, nice and hard working guy we really enjoyed having with us. He hjelped us with cement casting, painting and other projects at our farm. We surely can give Mathias a warm recommendation for future hosts. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mathias stayed at our place the month of May and he was truly a gem providing his precise attention to the tasks given. It was mainly things related to wood as big trees were cut on the land so there was a lot of clearing to do. I really loved as he was able to decide and fulfill the plan from planning to realisation. He also constructed a wooden… read more
