Description
Hi there!

I'm Grégory, born in France and living in Canada for the past 12 years.

I am into 3d design, 3D printing, electronics, metal fabrication (welding TIG/MIG/STICK, brazing), and can also do wood work, carpentry, general home renovations, if needed.

I love fabrication (as you can see) so I am eager to learn new techniques, all the time :)

I also enjoy gardening, it relaxes me a lot while being still energy demanding.

I also enjoy experimental electronic music, bouldering, and sailing.

I am also into meditation, I intend to participate in a couple of retreats along my journey.

More details about your skills
Hi everyone!
I am passionate about fabrication, and over the years accumulated some skills: 3D design, 3D printing, metal working (TIG welding mostly, but can do MIG and Stick, brazing), woodworking, basic electronics and pcb design, and some other stuff I forgot.
Regarding hobbies, I like bouldering, pottery making, sailing, motorcycle riding, and into experimental music.
I do enjoy meditation a lot and plan to go on retreats during my trip.
I also love giving a hand for gardening, even if it is not something I do in my city life, this is something that I find relaxing for the mind, while being a workout for the body.
I speak French and English, I can understand a bit of Spanish and plan to learn a bit of Japanese and Korean for my upcoming travels.
I am unfortunately not a great cook but I would love to learn! For some reason I find everything else simpler :)
I am a bit shy of nature but once I feel at ease I open up. Hope to meet you!
Have a wonderful day!

I stayed 10 days at Ted and Shao Mei’s place in March. I stayed in the house with the ocean view (winter time) and helped Ted from 9 to 12/13. Working hours are respected and if things dont happen as planned (both are quite busy, working hard and taking care of Kayleen, their baby daughter), Ted will make things right for you. He offers to rent… read more

I stayed around 20 days at Achan’s and Loïc’s place and I had a wonderful time. Living there is balanced as you get to live with Japanese people (Achan, Makoto) and foreigners (Loïc and other workawayers). You get the opportunity to meet other Japanese people once a week by giving english lessons. There are also Japanese classes you can attend.… read more

He is a steady and mature man. His understanding was as remarkable as his talent. Despite being so capable, there is no hint of arrogance or haughtiness about him. Though he possessed so many skills, he was in no hurry to display them. He only shows up when we realize our need. He makes us realize that a truly talented person is humble. He will… read more

I had a wonderful time at the Monastery. I stayed there for 1 month. This is a good place to go if you have experience or interest in meditation. If not, you might be bored. There is rules you need to respect as you will be living with nuns and monks. This place felt like home, the landscape is beautiful, and I really enjoyed the presence of the… read more
