Description
Hi ! I'm Ferdinand, a 25-year-old human being concerned about the future of our planet and full of motivation to give more meaning to our actions !
I just finished theoretical studies in Applied Mathematics and Climate Modelling in both France and Canada, which I loved, but I now wish to acquire more practical knowledge on concrete life such as gardening, sewing, plumbing etc... and especially regarding alternative kinds of organizations (cooperatives, community spaces, pooling of resources...).
In the same time, I love to integrate into new cultures because I believe it challenges one's way of thinking and broadens the field of possibilities.
I was born in Paris, France but I currently live in Montreal, Canada, and I am planning to go on a hitchhiking trip around the American continent starting July 2025 for one year. It would be a great opportunity to participate in the projects I come across along the way. So be ready to receive an enthusiastic message from me !
I can't wait to here from you !

What else ...
For a year now I've been interesting in learning the Guitar and music theory, so if you want to play with people I would be happy to join !
I also love climing which is a sport I've been seriously practicing indoor and outdoor for around 2 years.
I learnt how to sail this year by joining a sailing club and I am planning to cross the atlantic under sail in 2026 !
I'm passionate about cinema and always fond of conversations on the subject.
