More details about your skills
Matthieu has been a software engineer for almost 15 years and is a passionate of all things computer-y. Any need on that front will be a pleasure to solve. He is handy with manual work.
Manon has experince in farming. She volunteered twice in farms with animals and vegetable production. She also had her own chicken and built the coop to host them. She took care of the vegetable garden she did as well.
During this trip we've taken care of 8 dogs for 2 weeks in Turkey. We both have standard cooking skills (and we love to cook !) . We also like playing with and looking after children: Matthieu has 2 wonderful nephew and niece (6 and 2) we regularly babysit.
We both volunteered in a community café, managing the place and serving food and drinks. Participating in communities is something we love to do and find sense in.
We are both fluent in English. Manon is fluent in German and Italian. Matthieu loves learning new languages and has notions in German, Japanese, Russian and Chinese. We have started to learn Turkish for our trip there.

What else ...
We are Manon and Matthieu, two french travellers on our way to Japan / Asia by land (without flying). We want to travel slowly, take time to discover places, countries and people.
Manon likes yoga, pole dancing and aerial hoop, singing, playing ukulele, and chatting about basically everything.
Matthieu loves computer science, rollerdance (yep, it's dancing on roller skates), animes, and learning as many languages as possible.
We are looking to meet people all along the way because that is what journeys are about. Taking are of each other and mutual aid are the basis of a healthy society :)
