Description

Bonjour!

I am Pierre, from France, beginner on WorkAway. I have spent my entire career in the IT field. Now, I would like to visit, discover, learn, meet people while remaining active and busy.
I love nature, adventure, health, animals and sport, almost all sports. I still practice many like cycling, tennis, hiking, swimming, fitness, kayaking, sailing... So, I am fit, healthy and tough.

I speak good English but I would like to improve myself.
I have worked several years abroad, for example in China. So I am used to managing on my own in an unfamiliar environment.

I have just completed an 8-month training in French pastry and I obtained my diploma (CAP) last June. So I can make you or for your guests homemade French croissants or delicious chocolate or fruit cakes!

I like sales and contact with customers and people in general, good in organization, people say I have a good sense of humor. I also enjoy gardening (I learned from my father), tree care (idem) and DIY. I am patient, curious, flexible, reliable, force of proposals, hardworking and enduring.

If you think I can help you in whatever project you are undertaking, please get in touch.

I would be happy to spend anything from 4 weeks to 2 months anywhere in the world, there is no real plan, do not hesitate to make any sort of suggestion or offer.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this far.
Pierre
