Description
¡Hola!
--- ESPAÑOL --- (English below)
Estoy buscando un proyecto al cual contribuir en hermosa Colombia. Me interesaría especialmente un proyecto relacionado con la convivencia en comunidad, la permacultura o experimentar estilos de vida alternativos.
--- CÓMO PUEDO AYUDAR ---
Completé un Curso de Diseño en Permacultura (CPD) y puedo ayudar a mejorar la sostenibilidad de tu proyecto, vivir de manera más saludable y proteger nuestra querida naturaleza.
Soy instructor de yoga recién graduado y siempre estoy feliz de transmitir un poco de la sabiduría que me han compartido.
Tengo habilidades en informática y puedo ayudar con la creación de sitios web.
Disfruto cocinar (comida vegetariana) y aprender sobre plantas.
--- ACERCA DE MÍ ---
Soy un chico francés de 37 años y pasé los últimos 14 años viviendo en el extranjero, estudiando y trabajando como ingeniero e investigador. Sin embargo, ahora estoy buscando una actividad más significativa y gratificante, que ayude a los demás y a la naturaleza en la que vivimos.
Llevé un estilo de vida nómada durante más de 5 años y mi objetivo es crear o unirme a un proyecto de permacultura existente, adoptando un estilo de vida consciente con el medio ambiente y aprendiendo a vivir en comunidades.
Me encantan las actividades al aire libre (especialmente el senderismo). Disfruto tocar la guitarra, jugar ajedrez y estar rodeado de personas :) En mi tiempo libre, mantengo blogs sobre permacultura, senderismo y viajes.

I'm currently looking for a meaningful project to contribute to in Colombia. I’d be especially interested in a project involving community building, permaculture, or experiencing alternative lifestyles.
--- HOW I CAN HELP ---
- I completed a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) and can help improve your project's sustainability and suggest many useful tips to save money, live healthier, and protect our beloved nature.
- I'm a (recently graduated) Yoga instructor and I'm always happy to transmit some of the wisdom that was shared with me.
- I have IT skills and I can help with building websites.
- I enjoy cooking (vegetarian food) and learning about plants.
--- ABOUT ME ---
I’m a 37 years-old French guy and I spent the last 14 years living abroad, studying and working as an engineer and researcher. However, I’m now looking for a more meaningful and fulfilling activity, that would help others and the nature we live in.
I had a nomadic lifestyle for more than 5 years and my objective is to create or join an existing permaculture project, adopting an environmentally-conscious lifestyle and learning to live in intentional communities.
I love outdoor activities (especially hiking). I enjoy playing guitar, chess and being around people :) In my spare time, I maintain blogs on permaculture, trekking, travelling and machine learning.
