About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Develop my new baby farm: Le Rizen, asian vegetables

ABOUT ME

Passion for farmers' movements and organizations! Involved with La Via Campesina since 2011.
Studying Quebec farmers' contestation of agriculture laws in a sociological perspective.
Started farming this year! YEAH

PHILOSOPHY

Now that I am born and that I will definetely die one day; that I am moreover born in one of the richest country; that I'm getting some good education with school and all the incredibles experiences and travels my situation of medium class girl could give me; that I'm heathly; that I have food three times a day; that I could even climb up the Everest if I wanted to..

For all that I suppose, now I just want to try to live simply, according to my values and feelings. I want peace, love and happiness around me as well as for every single human being of this earth.

I want to live knowing I'm doing some good, bringing somewhere a light of happiness, a smile.. Just as I couldn't live myself without all the smiles, without that crazy painting that made me think or without this laught, this good long conversation, this simple moment of connection and all these tiny grasps of life that I couldn't enjoy if one day, I wasn't born.

AND, 9 months traveling and experiencing China has been quite amazing!
