We are on a trip around the Mediterranean sea without flying, and we would love to meet new people, share life experiences, learn new skills and do things with our hands.

More details about your skills
Victor :
I studied environmental engineering for 5 years (renewable energy etc.) and worked for two years as a consultant helping companies reducing their carbon emissions. Thus I can help and share knowledge about how to be more sustainable (sensitization workshops etc.).
During my studies, I worked three summers in a row as a runner in a bar in Paris (supplying and providing help to the waiters) and then as a manager of a team of 7 runners. I also worked in the cornfields in the South West of France.
I love to cook vegetarian meals.
I can (and love to) help building stuff or gardening.
Most of all, I am very curious and willing to learn new skills.
Elvire:
I have a masters of design and engineering and for the past two years i have worked as a designer on digital and physical projects, for example building websites, designing for social media, branding, designing an electric harp, organising a festival...
I also do art and illustrations.
I have worked for several years as a tutor for children, helping them with school work.
I love cooking vegetarian meals too, and i am very interested in learning about sustainable living/farming practices and any other new skills!

We love to read and to talk about life/philosophy etc.
