Description

Bonjour!

I am Pierre, from France, only one experience as a WorkAwayer but a very good one in South Africa . I have spent my entire career in the IT field. Now, I would like to visit, discover, learn, meet people but not like a tourist, I prefer to live with local people. I like also be active and busy.
I love especially (almost) all sports and nature. Everything with adventure, maintaining good health, animals, action and learning. I still practice many sports: cycling, tennis, hiking, swimming, fitness, kayaking, sailing... So, I am still 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.

Just after started my retirement, I had completed an 8-month training in French pastry and I obtained the famous french diploma "CAP pâtisserie". So I can make for you or for your guests homemade French cakes like croissants or delicious chocolate or fruit cakes!

I like sales and contact with customers and people in general. I am good in organization and people says I have a good sense of humor. I also enjoy gardening (I learned from my father), tree care and DIY. I am very 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 for me, do not hesitate to make any sort of suggestion or offer.

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