About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be creative

ABOUT ME

crazy mind, very curious about new things
like to think for hours, deep discussions.
like good atmosphere. I am a easy contact personn, who is really adaptable to the people or the situations. I like to define myself as a cameleon.
i am moreover lunatic. Don t feel frighten, it is just that i follow my mood which is changing fast.I live in extrems.

PHILOSOPHY

For me, without sharing and exchanging with the others, the nature, life has no sense. We have also to explore our incredible potential of creativity.
I try not to be addicted with materials things, (i loose often things)...i think that spiritual life is important.
i try to find happyness in dailylife and not always in extraordinary moments.
I am a "bon vivant" (good living), means i love good food and drink as philosophy of life: enjoy what life and earth give to you.
Politics : I am a "Cultural Creatives", decreasing economy, self-autonomy (food, energy).
