Descripción

Hi! My name is Adrien, I'm 26 and I'm from Grenoble, in the french Alps. I'm very open-minded and creative and I love to travel and meet new people! I recently graduated as an energies and environmental engineer and am now starting a career in research in oceanography: I study the ocean and its role in the Earth's climate, with direct observations and advanced computer science techniques. I am looking for some more down-to-earth time with nice people this summer before starting my PhD in the autumn.

I've also studied art as a minor, which I absolutely love, and particularly photography - I worked as a freelance filmmaker and photographer while getting my master's degree. Other things I love include surfing, skateboarding, sailing, rock-climbing, speaking and learning other languages, graphic design, architecture, and hammocking (I even started my own hammock club! But that's a story for when we meet ;)

I have lived and studied abroad in California and in Denmark for a year each and can speak spotless English and decent Danish. Part of my family comes from Italy so I can also speak Italian alright!

This is a fresh workaday profile because I took a long break and my previous profile was deleted, but I actually have done 3 workaways before ! 3 weeks in Greece rebuilding an abandoned village into an art gallery, one week in Amsterdam doing housekeeping/design/photography, and 2 months in Spain working on a renewable energies installation on a sailboat. I have also done other types of volunteering and have a lot of experience living in different conditions and adapting to different people's lifestyles. I also have a good amount of experience with various power tools - I've built wooden skate ramps, farm sheds, made skate and surf boards, chopped down wood to build fences, also worked with metal... Don't get fooled by my job, I know how to use my hands!

For the first half of August this year I'm traveling together with my long-time friend Baptiste and we're hoping to make great connections in Italy and have fun working and discovering a new place and way of living.
