Description

•••| Anna and Alexandre are in Sardinia from August 3 to 21, 2026. |•••

• I'm Alexandre, 31, from Blaye in southwest France, near Bordeaux.
I split my time between a director-level role in local government and Espaces Saquary, a food-focused agroecological space on 13 hectares with beehives, low-tech drying and weaving, food preservation. It's a place where people come together to make things happen. None of it works alone: it's the encounters, the hands that meet, the know-how that circulates, that keep the project alive.
I like making things myself (bone broth, vinegar, beer ) but I learn just as much, if not more, from the people I meet than from my own trial and error.
I hold a black belt in judo, train in MMA, and I'm a self-taught musician (guitar, drums, bass, vocals, a bit of bugle, piano, and oud), learned by watching my father play.
I studied cultural and natural heritage management (art history at École du Louvre, cultural industries at Audencia) before working on museum creation projects, so I'm comfortable moving between hands-on physical work and organizing complex projects.
I'd be delighted to welcome someone and just as much to go discover other cultures, skills, and forms of richness worth sharing.
I love sport, meditation, creating things, and taking the time to do things well
I'm still new to traveling, but I'm resilient, enduring, calm, and in good physical shape.

• My name is Anna, I'm 31 years old. I'm currently training to become an agronomist engineer at AgroParisTech (2024-2027), specializing in agroecology and soil sciences. I also work part-time for the City of Paris, developing organic farming projects on the outskirts of the capital.
Before that, I worked for several years as a landscaping technician, conducting site development studies and coordinating outdoor landscaping works. I also took part in a feasibility study on the reuse of construction materials in rural areas. Since 2022, I've been an active volunteer at Espaces Saquary, a community space dedicated to food located near Bordeaux, in southwestern France, where I've loved coordinating, facilitating, and developing projects, as well as designing agro-landscape spaces.
Agroecology, edible plants, and soil and water conservation are a true passion of mine, as much as a profession.
Outside of work, I practice classical dance as an accomplished amateur, do sports, play a bit of drums, and love hiking in the forest and swimming. I also really enjoy vegetable gardening and taking care of plants. I bring patience, technical precision, and genuine respect for the land, and I enjoy taking the time to understand what a place truly needs. I connect easily with people - I'm highly empathetic, both calm and energetic.
I'd be delighted to meet locals and other travelers to share our cultures and what makes us who we are.
