Description
Hello I'm Ugo :)
I'm an easy-going French traveller with great energy.
I'm a product designer and I'm on a gap year to explore and understand the world without flying.
After crossing the Atlantic on a sailboat as a crew member, I've been in Trinidad for a week now.
Most of the time, I sleep in my hammock outside (jungle, beach, bush...).
I want to visit Tobago and make myself useful.
I have lots of different skills. My best skills are handyman and cooking. And I'm empathic person with very good interpersonal skills.
I am a respectful and smiling person.
In my spare time I write my travel and life stories in my notebook. Because I love the sea, I dive and swim whenever possible.
I love nature and helping to preserve it as much as possible. I play guitar, love animals and gardening.
I speak fluent French and English
and I'm beginning to feel confident in Spanish.
For over 6 months, I've been meeting lot of people and, in some cases, living with them for varying lengths of time.
These have always been fantastic moments and powerful human connections.
By the way, I've never volunteered through an application before.
But it seems to suit me perfectly.
That's why I want to offer you the best of myself and I look forward to meeting you and bring you my happiness.
Yours respectfully
