Description
Hi there!
I’ve been traveling for the past four months with my brother on an incredible backpacking journey through the Americas — but soon, we’ll be parting ways, and I’ll be continuing the adventure on my own. So far, we’ve explored California, Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
I’m Mathis, a 23-year-old backpacker from France, now traveling solo across the American continents. Open-minded, curious, and full of energy, I love discovering new cultures, sharing meaningful moments, and learning from people along the way.
What I love:
Outdoor sports play a big role in my life! I’m passionate about hiking and love exploring mountains, forests, and trails in search of new adventures. Surfing is another one of my greatest passions — being on the waves gives me a deep sense of freedom and connection to nature.
Besides sports, I’m sociable and easygoing, always happy to help out, meet new people, and try new things.
What I bring:
I’m resourceful, motivated, and hands-on. Whether it’s taking part in daily tasks, helping with physical projects, or learning something new, I’m always ready to get involved and give my best. I also love cooking — from French cuisine to pastries and dishes from around the world — and I enjoy sharing laughs and having genuine conversations about travel, nature, food, or life in general.
I recently graduated from an engineering school in France, specializing in software development, so I’m quite comfortable with computers, internet tools, and electronics. My studies also gave me a problem-solving mindset that helps me adapt quickly and learn new skills efficiently — whether technical or practical.
Why Workaway?
I see Workaway as a beautiful way to connect with people from all walks of life, contribute to inspiring projects, and grow through real, hands-on experiences. Each encounter is an opportunity to learn, give back, and gain new perspectives. Volunteering across different types of projects also allows me to explore various lifestyles and gain a deeper understanding of the world.
In short:
A dynamic and curious traveler, passionate about nature, adventure, and human connection — with a technological background and a desire to live, learn, and share. I’m looking forward to meeting you and discovering your world!

Our skills
We are two handy and resourceful brothers, always ready to roll up our sleeves. We enjoy tinkering and have no problem getting our hands dirty, whether it’s in the garden, working on mechanical projects, or doing small repairs or construction tasks.
Although we’re not professionals, we are quick learners, motivated, and efficient in everything we do. Whether it’s assembling furniture, fixing something, planting vegetables, or maintaining outdoor spaces, we’re always eager to help!
Our philosophy:
We love learning and are curious to broaden our horizons. This Workaway adventure is an opportunity for us to discover new techniques, develop our skills, and improve in areas such as DIY, gardening, mechanics, or any other hands-on activities we haven’t explored yet.
With us, you can count on motivated hands, curious minds, and a positive attitude when facing new challenges!

Nos encanta aprender y tenemos curiosidad por ampliar nuestros horizontes. Esta aventura en Workaway es una oportunidad para descubrir nuevas técnicas, desarrollar nuestras habilidades y mejorar en áreas como el bricolaje, la jardinería, la mecánica o cualquier otra actividad práctica que aún no hayamos explorado.
