Hi 👋

🧵 I'm Robin, I'm 28, and I'm currently on a hitchhiking trip from France to Mongolia 💫

🦥 During this trip, my goal is to take the time to travel slowly, meet local people and learn from them. That's why I like Couchsurfing, Trustroots, Workaway, but also hitchhiking and going door to door to ask for accommodation.

🏠 I think I can be described as open-minded and easy-going. I'm often up for lots of things, and I adapt easily to people's way of living. Also, I'm pretty clean and tidy, and always happy to offer my help if you need it!

📷 You can see a bit of my adventures on Instagram @robinbatard. I make short videos about scientific anecdotes or things I discover along the way.

🎒 In parallel, I correspond with primary and secondary schools to talk about my trip and discoveries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover the world in ways other than through sight 🦚

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to
🍳 cook something
🍻 go for a drink
💬 share experiences, ideas, thoughts
🤝 help you to build, design, create, clean, garden or anything else

I'm currently learning Russian because I hope it will be useful to travel in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan 🤞

I also have pretty good PowerPoint skills but I'm not sure it's useful here 🤷‍♂️

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can
🥗 cook
🦅 teach you how to make an origami eagle
💡 teach you how to solve a rubik's cube
🤝 be a player for boardgames, volleyball or any other sports!

Generally speaking, I can be useful for building, dismantling, moving, solving, designing, creating, organizing, storing and cleaning things.
