CURRENT MISSION

Starting a vegetable patch and try to become self-sufficient in food and energy as much as it is humanely possible possible. I'm working out ways to do efficient square gardening and polycultures.

ABOUT ME

Hello,

I really got into permaculture in 2014. I've been Wwoofing around ever since to get some hands-on experience to start cultivating vegetables and plants at my place. I'm in the process of digging a pound and setting up vertical gardening to grow lettuce.

I also like photography very much, and I'm trying to combine the two by taking pictures of the people into permaculture to show their work to people and get them interested.

In my spare time I enjoy going trekking in the Pyrénées on GR footpath, or rock climbing there. I think that outdoor activities are a great way to reconnect with Nature. I especially like trekking over several days, where I can be in contact with the elements.

Besides photography, my other passion is rock climbing. I also enjoy hiking. I often go in the Aspe valley, near the border with Spain, where I walk on the trails of the way of Saint James. I'€™ve discovered that I very much enjoyed mountaineering and the feeling of freedom if conveys.

I live in a house with my roommate. I spend my time going back and forth between Paris and Dordogne, where I have my vegetable patch. When in Paris I mostly spend my time taking street photography pictures. If I'm available when you visit, I will gladly show you around and tell you about the nice things to check out.
