Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

I love badly drawing places/statues/landscapes, falling behind while trekking, chatting about everything between history, philosophy, politics, ... and reading
And I believe I have a sense of humor 😊

Description

Hey! Nice to meet you!

I am currently travelling around the world. I like drawing whatever I find beautiful (mainly architecture and landscape), hiking and discovering new people. I love raising a smile to people and be there whenever people needs me.

I quit my job after working for 3 years as a Operation Condition Maintenance engineer, and have been living a life of adventure, travel, excitement and experiences i was always dreaming of.
I read a lot, and I want to confront my readings to what I see outside. Books allow travels, but meeting the other is on another level.

Philosophy:
Travel is all about the journey
Be nice and magic can happen

I have been couchsurfing for most of my journey. Here is my account to get an idea: https://couchsurfing.page.link/mz11uiv3zp8ndhKdA

Aprendo español en Sucre pero no soy fluidir en español. Me gusto conocer muy bueno español! I had some spanish classes in Sucre, but i am still a beginner. I would love to get better in espagnol! I am fluent in both french and, i believe, in english, so i can definitely teach/speak in these languages! I can kinda understand german, but, please, dont ask me to speak in that language ><

More details about your skills

Skill-wise, I have an engineering degree (mechatronical), and worked for 3 years in that field (Operational Condition Maintenance): give me a faulty machine, and I will raise ideas on how to repair it. I have been working both with my head and my hands: i know how to use most basics tools (hammer, saw, screwdriver, pliers), knowmy way with electricity: I was certified by my company to work on low tension installations. Please mind that if you wish me to work on electricity, i will ask to work in security, namely cutting everything so i can be safe, and will refuse to do anything on the installation if that level of security cannot be achieved.
In any case, even if i dont have competences in the field you want me to work on, i will gladly accept to learn how to do it. Mowing, cleaning dishes or weeding plants is not something I run away from
