Description
Hi! I am Tristan, 35yo from Paris. I used to be researcher in neuroscience in Paris and Edinburgh. I quit academia five years ago in order to make new experiences of work, life and meet new people. After a trip in Italy doing workayway and learning Italian, I decided to live for a while in Marseille. I have been teaching there for two years with children with disabilities. I am now unemployed and want to travel again.

I have been volunteering in various associations for the last 5 years, teaching french for migrants, social caring in a psychiatric hospital, help to homeless people, cook/waiter for an associative restaurant, seller in a second hand shop, help for an art festival and I give some help to a ewes shepherdess for a few days...
I am quite interested in plants, at some point I was willing to start a training in gardening but couldn't find a proper training. I started to be involve in various projects in Marseille for building an urban forest, developping permaculture, helping in a plant nursury and in a botanical garden. I did short trainings for beginners (3days) to recognize wild comestible plants, and to do plant graftings.
In my daily routine, I like to have coffee with friends, read, enjoy the sun, play in the broad sens, harvest seeds.
I am openminded, curious and adaptable. I like to learn new experiences, meet new people, discover new places, other way of living, or thinking in order to get to know me better and to know what I want to do next.

C'etait très interessant de découvrir cet ecolieu et discuter avec chacun. j'ai pu aider un peu au jardin et faire quelques travaux manuels, j'ai eu également beaucoup de temps libre et j'ai pu participer à plusieurs événements culturels avec les habitants de l'ecolieu. Merci encore pour ton accueil… read more

He's very calm and easygoing. Our experience with Tristan has been completely positive and we can certainly… read more

It was a very good choice to host Tristan! He is helpful, smart, tranquil, communicative and punctual! He helped us with the garden, chopping woods and getting rid of terrible rampant brambles! We hope for him the best and we look forward to welcome him here again!
