Description
Hi, welcome on my profil !
I have been traveling for more than 10 years but more than 5 years in "one-shot" (stretch). Lucky I am, I was able to visit more than 50 countries, 42 on a consecutive way.
Good English, motivated but mostly a positive attitude and equal mood.

Some people ask me why I travel since 2018 :) Well, never too late I guess ? Basically also because I worked a large part of my life in France. I was this kind of busy man most of the time, with many projects "on fire". One day I realized that I like to travel so much and finally I never been in some beautiful countries. Today I found my own balance :)
Actually, I do a (big) world trip and I was lucky to reach different type of schools as an educator (EduCare) focus mostly on underprivileged children, then English & French teacher as well.

I currently traveling alone so and everyday all day I discover this world with diverses incredible experiences and cultures... !
Comfortable with kids, I like to create interactions and conversations with them, no matter about the ages, cultures or religions. For some schools I needed to take care of them and/or outdoors activities.

More details about your skills
I'm DJ and I have a good knowledges for Internet, websites, social networks, multimedia, music, cinema, how to edit a video, filming etc... (I have my own camera). I speak and teach French (native tongue) and English as well. For some places, I created something like an English club conversation to interact and speak with children, games and sports too.

I love to swim (number one), skiing (I lived in the mountain-city in France), running, trekking. Basketball and Football too even if I don't have a good level ! Anyway I love to play with students for fun :)
I like and I hope for each of my different Workaway, to meet real local people mostly in the small villages, try to know their cultures & foods, problematics, laughing... well, cultural exchange !

Some adds :
I worked in eco-farm in Japan (Ohara), another eco-project during 3 months in a west of Australia (Geraldton / Margaret River), Vietnam (Phu Quoc), Egypt (Siwa) with a Tuareg family too.

To finish just note guys, I'm not really interested by handy-work, farms, hotels build etc... I'm teacher and educator for 5 years ago now and mostly focus on disadvantaged children. I can help time to time for farming, gardening but... just not like a main job.
See you soon !
Age
48
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.
I don't like alcohol. No cigarettes or any drugs here. Available for the hosts, a blank official 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.
