Description
Hello!

I'm currently looking for a meaningful project to contribute to in India and Nepal. I’d be especially interested in a project involving community building and/or permaculture.

--- HOW I CAN HELP ---

- I completed a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) and I can help with improving the sustainability of your project 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 36 years-old French guy and I spent the last 12 years living abroad, studying and working as a 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 4 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 any 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.

--- VOLUNTEERING EXPERIENCE ---

Over the last years, I volunteered at the following projects:
1. off-grid community in Catalonia (3 months): farming and general community tasks
2. permaculture finca in the North of Tenerife (3 months)
3. permaculture finca in the South of Tenerife (1 month)
4. refugee foundation in Granada (6 months) where I was helping refugees with finding a job and working in the carpentry workshop
5. eco-park in Dominican Republic (1 month): maintenance of a rain forest
6. eco-village in Romania (2 weeks): eco-building (cob house and wooden constructions)
7. home stay in the desert in Morocco (2 weeks)
8. eco-resort and web development in Hunza Valley, Pakistan (2 weeks)
9. education institute in Pakistan (1 month)
10. non-profit free school in Bihar, India (2 weeks)
11. bamboo hut construction in Assam, India (2 weeks)

I enjoyed my time at this peaceful tea garden. Pooja and her mum are kind-hearted and generous people. They made sure that I was comfortable at all times and that I had everything I needed.

I had a separate house with a small kitchen all for myself. Meals were prepared 3 times a day and I was also offered fruit juices, snacks and tea.

During his two-week stay with us, Pierre endeared himself to the children, who greatly appreciated his vocal and music lessons. His dedication was remarkable, as he tirelessly worked without needing any instruction from us. Pierre's amiable nature and wonderful personality made him a delight to have around.

I spent 2 weeks with Sunil and his family in Dimow. They received me with warm hospitality and they immediately integrated me as part of their family.

I spent 4 weeks in this educational Institute in Hala. I couldn't ask for a better place, this was a truly unforgettable experience. Waqar received me with warm Sindhi hospitality, offering a comfortable room in his family guesthouse. He provided all the meals, sometimes preparing local dishes himself when he had time.

Pierre was a big part of the finca last year. His work in the garden as well as around the house was very helpful ! Calm and honest, he integrated perfectly the group dynamic. He was more focused on having the jobs done than on counting his hours and that is always appreciated. Thanks to him we had the chance to welcome Melissa too, who was not a… read more

I stayed a month and a half at this beautiful finca with beautiful people. I felt welcome from day 1.

Pierre and his good friend Tomas were with me for two weeks and contributed generously to my project. They are open-minded, eager to learn, hardworking, modest, and have positive attitudes. Pierre plays a good guitar and sings nicely with it. In fact, I cannot think of better volunteers and guests. All green lights!!

Our stay at Mike's was a fantastic experience. Even though we could only stay 2 weeks, we wish we could have stayed longer.

Mike is a very kind, generous and wise person, he welcomed us very warmly. He lives in a peaceful and isolated place, ideal to reconnect with Nature. The facilities are simple, which wasn't a problem for us: we slept in a… read more
