Haha, I'm sure you've done much crazier things 😉
I try to script my life the same way as well... when I can script it!
No idea if I'll be in France next summer to be honest, but if so, that sounds like a brilliant plan. I only look for jobs outside of France so it's rare that I'm ever there in the summer. But hey, if I end up somewhere in Europe, plenty of wells, streams, and fields to explore with metal detectors.
