Description

I'm a 30-year-old french engineer that worked 6 years for the french railway operator. I finally told myself I needed a break so I resigned and grabbed my backpack to enjoy life and see what the world has to offer !
That led me to Sweden and then Norway where I established myself for 2 years in Tromsø, all the way up and north of the Arctic Circle. I really enjoyed my time working as a bartender under the northern lights but what I will remember the most are the amazing people I met during my journey.

I'm looking forward to helping in any type of manual and physical work and I am ready to learn new skills if needed ! As a very curious guy, I'll be happy to learn from other's experiences and share mine as well.
Though I can be serious, organised and hardworking, I always enjoy a good laugh or sharing stories with new people 🙂

I will start travelling throughout Australia at the beginning of 2025 and have a lot of plans to explore Oceania and South East Asia 🤠

Cheers !


PS : I've had a HelpX account for several years but it seems Workaway is way more popular nowadays 😅
