Description
We are planning a trip to visit my sister who now lives in Beijing. We are taking the slow road and using this opportunity to discover as many countries as we can on the way there.

I (Thomas) am a civil engineer and I would love to discover building techniques and traditions. Celeste has just finished art school and is interested in various DIY activities such as woodworking, bakery... We are also interested in all kinds of cultural and linguistic exchanges. We love spending time outdoors, especially in the mountains, whether it is hiking, cycling or running.

More details about your skills
I (Thomas) am a civil engineer also trained in architecture, but I do not have the practical skills to match the theoretical background and I would love to discover building techniques and traditions. I worked as a labourer on traditional masonry construction sites in the south of France.
I have worked with children in a nursing home, helping them with everyday life and I really enjoyed helping them with their homework.
Céleste enjoys many DIY activities, through her art projects, with experience in woodworking and has also recently started baking.

Firstly a huge "thank you" to Thomas for all his hard work knocking down walls, making rock bedding for new pathways and clearing huge amounts of Rhododendrons....an amazing help to us.
