Description
Hi, I'm Antoine, a french young man looking for some new adventures after a master degree completed in Exercise Physiology and Sport Science. I'm taking a year exploring Japan and I'm looking for all kind of opportunities there. By September 2025, I hope to pursue a phD in exercise physiology, hopefully in The Netherlands.
I'm really into language learning and teaching as well as discovering new cultures. I'm an open minded person and really active, I try to keep myself busy most of the time. I do like some intimacy and calmer activities as well (reading, philosophing and playing music). I'm passionate by nature and activities realated to it as well.
I could be a real asset for everything related to language pratice as I've been a teacher (english) in France and Poland, as well as in wellness, physiology and physical activities as it's my soon to be job. I also did a lot of travel abroad doing various jobs (e.g : lumberjack, farm worker, language teacher, hostel maintenance ...) so i know multi-tasking pretty well.
I'm outgoing and like contact so any sociable task will be great for me ! Also as I'm a beginner in Japanese, I would like some teaching/conversation to get better.

I had an amazing stay at Maria's place ! THe house is spacious and comfortable and the work is not too hard when you're able to speak english correctly. Maria is really nice and flexible she will hear and answer all your questions regarding classes or else. The organisation is very well made and you'lle have plenty of time for yourself. From time… read more

We had the pleasure of hosting Antoine for about 5 weeks this spring in the Yukon. I have a very busy lifestyle with 5 children, lots of animals and a property to take care of. Antoine was great! He fit right in - the kids all loved him and he seemed to enjoy spending time with them. Antoine worked hard and was able to finish projects he started.… read more

I stayed for almost 2 weeks at Matt's house during winter time. Matt is a really good guy and really try to accomodate you the best he can. He's really kind with us and always make jokes and you feel you can talk to him as a Friend. He brought me into party, distillery tour and dropped me at the Mall on my day off even if it's a long drive.
He's a… read more very passionate guy, knows a lot about history and really try to learn about your culture what he doesn't already know. He also took time to teach me how to drive a bit which was really appreciated, as well that he brought us drinks and dessert during long billiard's game with other workawayer
His wife and his kids are also lovely and all those elements together put a really nice ambiance in the house, as well as he is hosting many workawayers which is really good to create links and share with other people. The food was really good in good quantity and quality and you can't really wish more than what he offers you.
The only bad point is the work which's not really interesting and can be physical (shovelling snowboard for hours) but you can limit it at 3 and half hours a day which is completely fair. Also Matt is really flexible with that and you can really do your own schedule as long as your respecting your 25h/week. I also did some extra hour and get some cash out which is always good for young broke traveller!
I wish him all the best for his farm which is becoming a workawayer's place to be near Edmonton City !

J'ai passé presque deux semaines chez Matt en hiver. Matt est vraiment un quelqu'un debien et essaie vraiment de vous accueillir du mieux qu'il peut. Il est vraiment gentil avec nous et fait toujours des blagues, vous sentez que vous pouvez lui parler en tant qu'ami. Il m'a amené à une soirée, à une visite de distillerie et m'a déposé au centre commercial lors de mon day off, même si le trajet est long.
C'est un gars passionné, il en sait beaucoup sur l'histoire et essaie vraiment d'apprendre de maculture ce qu'il ne sait pas déjà. Il a également pris le temps de m'apprendre à conduire un peu ce qui est très apprécié, de même qu'il nous a apporté des boissons et des desserts lors de longues parties de billard avec les autres voyageurs.
Sa femme et ses enfants sont également adorables et tous ces éléments réunis créent une ambiance vraiment agréable dans la maison. De plus, il héberge de nombreux vacanciers, ce qui est vraiment bien pour créer des liens et partager avec d'autres personnes. La nourriture était vraiment bonne en quantité et qualité et vous ne pouvez pas vraiment souhaiter plus que ce qu'il ne vous offre.
Le seul inconvénient est que le travail n’est pas vraiment intéressant et peut être physique (pelleter la neige pendant des heures), mais vous pouvez le limiter à 3 heures et demie par jour, ce qui est tout à fait équitable. Matt est aussi très flexible avec cela et vous pouvez vraiment faire votre propre emploi du temps à condition de respecter vos 25h / semaine. J'ai aussi fait une heure supplémentaire et récupéré de l'argent, ce qui est toujours bon pour les jeunes voyageurs fauchés!
Je lui souhaite le meilleur pour sa ferme, qui est en train de devenir un lieu de prédilection pour les workawayer's près d'Edmonton!

Antoine exceeded all of our expectations. He is extremely hard working and he's very physically fit and strong. He was able to do physically intense work like shovelling snow for many hours. He's a very intelligent and educated young man. He is well mannered and clean. I think he likes children as his eyes light up when interacting with our two… read more
