Description

Hi, I'm Mathis, i'm a 24 years old french guy from North of France (from the champagne region!)

I finished my master's degree in packaging development last year, then I worked for 1 year in the research & development department for an agro-food company (vegetables).

I decided to leave my current job for a minimum of 1 year break in order to travel, discover other cultures, improve my language level (especially Spanish) and obviously to meet and share great moments with new people.
This is how I discovered workaway and immediately signed up.

I grew up in the countryside with cats, dogs, horses and all other farm animals so I have experience in animal care.
When I was in high school and college, I was also working during summer breaks in the fields and vineyards (harvest), in markets and supermarkets (sometimes at night) and I did a lot of jobs and services like factory work or gardening, so I am not afraid to the effort and to have my hand dirty.

I love team sports (especially Football that I practiced in a club when I was teen), hiking, biking, skiing and I tried surfing last year and I directly fell in love with this sport and this state of mind, even if I'm a real beginner for the moment !
I'm also a music lover, I really listen to any style, from classic to techno, including Cuban music, rock or rap and many other kind of music. I also practice a little of drums and beatmaking with my friends.

I describe myself as someone who is willful, open-minded, smiling and always ready to laugh, but don't worry, I know to be serious when it is necessary to be!

But most of all, I especially want to learn new things, in new places with new people!
