About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live simply, leave as small a print as possible on this planet.
ABOUT ME

In my forties already ( hell ! time flies!) After travelling the world for a time few years ago i finally settled down in old Brittany . Coming back from Brasil with a dog helped a lot in that decision ;)
Now i'm ready to hit the road again but rather with a van ( and the dog) than with a backpack .

I'm an easy going person but as all the breton people i've got a strong temper ! :)
I feel much better surrounded by animals than humans but i love to meet new people sharing cultures and experiences . Basically i don't like small talks so the smaller the group the better the conversation,we can go straight to the essence of things.
I prefer a hammoc with a good book in the middle of nature to a crowded party place but i will never say no to a caipirinha in a latino bar !

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself , don't pretend.

Music, Movies, and Books

True fan of Oscar Wilde ( reading The Picture of Dorian Gray was a pure moment of grace!) , i'm also an Harry Potter maniac , Amélie Nothomb, John Connolly and so much more! I don't listen to music too much , epends on the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Zimbabwe i got surrounded by a herd of about 400 buffalos in the middle of the night ( we were camping outside) , we couldn't see each other just the shadows but both of us knew the others were there. The sound, the smell and the tension on both parts were incredible! The day after we saw an attack from the lionesses on this same herd from the top of a hill , we couldn't believe it it's so rare to see something like that! Magical moments forever in my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning new skills so i would be delighted to learn how to build a house with clay for example or carve wood, or make a dreamcatcher , anything actually oh and learn new languages . As for me i'm not bad now at backpacking so i can share a few tricks , i also can milk a cow not sure it's very useful in everyday life but it's damn cool!
