Description

Bonjour earthlings,
As a French newly-retiree, I want to take advantage of my free time to travel by meeting people that I hope will be nice and quiet
In my life, after brief higher education, I was a welder, a journalist, created/animated /directed a private local radio station and a real estate business manager: all that before 30 y o.
Then , during 10 years, we travelled in family, with our sailboat (in Mediterranean Sea, West Africa, the West Indies, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean)
Back to capitalism, to raise children, I was a truck driver, a mediator in working-class neighborhoods, an occupational psychologist for unemployed people, an organic market gardener, created and edited a monthly local newspaper, created and managed a non-profit association to learn computer science for free, especially for the poor people in the region, and sometimes in other countries: Haiti, Guinea, Mauritania...

With workaway,firstly, I would like to learn to speak English fluently, to ger to know new people and cultures and facilitating my future travels
I have motorcycle, car and truck licenses, and like to do nothing, work indoors and outdoors, take care of animals and children, (am a grandfather several times), lend a hand, be of service, read, dream, do yoga, meditate, listen to music, ride a pedibus, bike or motorized vehicle, etc..
To the pleasure of chance and see you soon
(Thanks Deepl for your help;-))
