Description
Hello!
My name is Mathieu, for now still a student in Switzerland, but soon to graduate!
I'm French, born in the States, and lived also in Egypt, Denmark, Scotland, Netherlands, and Portugal. Travel and adapting to new cultures have been an integrating part of who I am since a very young age, and this is why Workaway is an amazing platform to continue travelling (even though I don't use it as often as I would like to).
I've had the chance to volunteer quite a few times. I've served food for people in need during a year back in highschool, been an animator in a sports camp for kids, and had my first workaway experience in 2019, where I was a teacher for 12 to 15 year old kids in the rural region of Gaunshahar, Nepal for a month.
I've been and currently still am part of students association which is also some sort of volunteering. I'm currently in an association called ESN at my local university, that aims to integrate incoming exchange students and organize many events for them throughout the semester (and it's taking quite a lot of my time haha).
Travelling gives me the opportunity to leave everything behind, and discover myself anew in a completely different environment. I create a sort of (figurative) mask during the travel containing all the memories, discoveries, and knowledge I gained. Combining this with volunteering, means that, to this mask, I can add a much more down to earth meaning to what it means to give time for a greater cause, especially if it's with other like minded people!
I am hard-working and eager to learn, with an easy going and friendly personality. I am ready to get out of my comfort zone, and willing to discover anything new and exciting. Show me how to live! I want to respect, give, help, learn, exchange with all of you!Centres d’intérêt

I travelled a lot already for long periods of time but never really knew the language of the country I had lived in that well. I wish I could've put more effort to learn the language in my earlier days so that I'd be way better now. But it's never too late to start!!!Compétences et connaissances que j'aimerais partager ou apprendre

Great with kids, and with manual work: Not afraid to get my hands dirty! I love to try new things whether if it's in a group or individually. I'm curious and flexible and adapting to new situations, meet and reach out to lots of different people from all around the globe.

Autres infos...
I'm big fan of sports in general, even the ones I don't know how to play and have no knowledge in. I'm a big fan of board games as well, Could play a whole night if I could. I would say I'm pretty adventurous, never turning down an opportunity to do something cool!
I'm also trying to learn skills from anything in the art world: Photography, drawing, music...I'm still a beginner, but I'm never too old to try and learn something new!Informations complémentaires

For a first workaway, I couldn't have chose a better project. Shamser is one of the most dedicated man I have ever met, everything concerning the projects or the volunteers is what's most… read more
