Description
Hi, welcome on my profile !
I have been traveling for over 20 years, with more than 8 years spent continuously on the road. Luckily, I've been able to visit over 58 countries, 38 of them consecutively.
Motivated but mostly a positive attitude and equal mood.

People often ask me why I travel so much. Honestly, why not? It’s never too late to chase your dreams. For a big part of my life, I was grinding away in France, juggling endless projects and deadlines. Then one day, it hit me, I’m obsessed with traveling, yet I’d barely explored the world! Now, I’ve finally found my groove.

I’m currently on a (very big) world tour, lucky enough to combine my passion for teaching and travel. As an EduCare educator, I focus on supporting underprivileged kids, teaching English and French, and making connections that go way beyond the classroom.

Solo traveling has been a wild ride, every day brings new cultures, unforgettable experiences, and moments that remind me why I love this planet. I’ve always felt at ease with kids, and I thrive on creating meaningful interactions, no matter their background, culture, or religion. In some schools, I’ve been in charge of leading outdoor adventures and making sure children feel cared for, safe, and excited to learn.

More details about your skills
I'm DJ with a good knowledge with internet/websites, social networks, multimedia, music, cinema, video editing, and filming (I have my own camera). I’m also fluent in French (my native language so) and English : I enjoy teaching both. In some places, I've created English conversation clubs to interact with children, organizing games and sports as part of the activities.

I love swimming, skiing, walking and trekking. I also enjoy basketball and football, even though my skill level isn’t the best! But honestly, I just love playing for fun with students. :)

Whenever I join different Workaway experiences, I hope to meet real local people, especially in small villages, to immerse myself in their cultures, foods, challenges, and, of course, share laughs. In short, I seek meaningful cultural exchanges.

A few additional experiences: I worked on :
- an eco-farm in Ohara, Japan,
- participated in an eco-project for three months in Western Australia (Geraldton / Margaret River)
- contributed to some projects in Phu Quoc, Vietnam
- Siwa, Egypt with a Tuareg family.
- A -lot- of different families around the world as a volunteer too.

Lastly, just to note—I’m not particularly interested in manual labor, construction, or hotel work. I’ve been a teacher and educator for the past 7 years, focusing mainly on disadvantaged children. I’m happy to help with farming or gardening occasionally, but it's not my main focus.

Looking forward to meeting you all soon!

What else ...
I love to meet new people and interact with the locals. Like I said, I have a positive attitude everyday and energy to travel.
I'm not difficult about the food, I eat absolutely everything. I adapt to each place and different people (Vegan or not, spicy or not... no problem :)
Sorry I'm not a good cooker but open to learn it.

Most important things :
No cigarettes or any drugs here. Available for my hosts, an official Blank Criminal Records.

Difficult to describe this family, people and generally Lalpur... Gopal is an amazing working man, and that's true, you'll be really welcomed here. Their 2 kids were fun and gentle.
This is a real immersion in a nepalese family. See what's happens around, Lalpur is beautiful ! Thank you Gopal, you and your family for all. Seb.

It was great to have Seb at our learning centre. It is my misfortune that I could not meet with Seb as I was away in Jaipur executing our first livelihoods project. However, the children spoke of him very fondly, that he was better known as DJ Takla. I am told that they had a great time playing with him. I really admire Seb for his strong desire… read more

I have had the privilege of accommodating Seb for about a month on my block .
He has been a great help on many projects around the place but I think his biggest strength is his fantastic interaction with my 10 and 8 year old children.
He will never be forgotten and hopefully we will cross paths again.
