Description
Hello everyone !
My name is Quentin and for my first solo trip I'm really looking forward to discovering Portugal and everything that goes with it: the nature, the culture, the local cuisine, the traditions, the language and, above all, meeting new people.
Here's some information about me:
4 years ago I left my parents' house to go to the other end of France to study. It was a great opportunity to set off on an adventure and I loved it. I've recently finished my studies in mechanical engineering and this is a good opportunity for me to take the time to travel. I want to get away from what I know once again.
I'm very curious about the idea of discovering new things during this trip. I want to get closer to nature and learn more about living in a more environmentally-friendly way.
For my first solo trip, I want to integrate into a system that's different from the one I know, to face new situations and above all to meet new people. In particular, I would love to learn more about permaculture, growing your own food and eco-friendly cultures.
I'm quite curious and open-minded ! I really enjoy physical activities and contact with people. As a Workawayer, I can bring enthusiasm, adaptability, and a genuine desire to contribute. Whether it's helping with hands-on projects, sharing stories, or just being an extra pair of hands where needed, I’d love to hear from you !
Best regards,
Quentin.
