Description
Hello, I'm Matthias from France.
I'm trying to leave my dream life, travelling, helping around and consumme a less as possible.

I decided to do a gap year to improve my knowledge and to open myself to the world, to share experiences with people from all over the world, to learn how to consume less and about permaculture.
I'm a nature lover and i would love to discover new landscapes and beautiful places.

I'm open minded, fast learner, easy going and I would like to help you in your projects! I'm very motivated and really curious. I like new experiences and i rarely say no to new things.

I'm fluent in english and I have spanish basis.

All the best and see you soon!

We spoke a lot about renewable energy and ways to save our beautiful… read more
