About Me

On the Way
Doing my best to follow the path - find balance, improve myself and spread Love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people ! Couchsurfing is an incredible immersive way to travel.
Since I started to use it (2016), I met amazing people, some became very close friends and I'm grateful for the things I've learnt and shared with all the people who helped me.
It's a good way for sharing

Interests

Do my best to find a way to live harmoniously
Knowing and improving my condition
Striving to get tuned with the "Natural" world

I am passionate by the mutual relationships with and between the living beings and really like deep conversation topics that widen and challenge my mind.

I'm focusing now on healing and regenerative agroforestry

2024 update : focused to connect and help people and projects that are related to regenerative agriculture, wildlife, reforestation and healthy food sovereignty.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like reading books which contain ideas that challenge my mind like : 1984 (G. Orwell), The World Until Yesterday : What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies? (J. Diamond), The Alchemist (P. Coelho), La Sobriété Heureuse (P. Rahbi), Sun-Tzu, Musashi (Eiji Yoshikawa), The Little Prince (A. de Saint-Exupéry), L'Ecole de la Forêt (Amphay Doré), Introduction to complex Thought (E. Morin), La Zone du Dehors (A. Damasio), The Peaceful Stillness of the Silent Mind (Lama Yeshe), The Power of Now (E. Tolle), Jamais seul (M.-A. Selosse), L'Entraide : l'autre loi de la jungle (P. Servigne and G. Chapelle), Plaidoyer pour l'altruisme (M. Ricard), Scribe de Dieu (J.-B. Falguière), Futuwah (Sulami, trad. F. Skali) philosophy and spirituality readings : tao, vedas, yogic path, dharma, sufi path...

On the same way about movies : Cloud Atlas, Fight Club, V for Vendetta, El Abrazo dela Serpiente, The Great Dictator, Mononoke Hime, Nausicaa, Pompoko, Raya...
I like to watch documentaries also.

About music I'm opened to any kind, it depends of my mood and how I feel the melody. I like to have some Japanese Lofi Hip Hop as background ambience.
Currently I'm very attracted by acoustic songs especially wind instruments and drums.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To change radically my life's path, listening my heart even if it was radically different from what I was living. I quit my studies at master's degree and my job - the conventional expected way - and, because I was able to do it, I created my own path

Fell in Love with the Tropical Forest

Teach, Learn, Share

Since april 2019 I'm volunteering all along my way, helping, learning and sharing with local people, mainly focused on gardening, agroforestry, agroecology, permaculture and so on - just a respective way to grow - did it in Thaïland, Malaysia, Indonesia, French Polynesia, New Caledonia and the Philippines.
I'm particularly inspired by concepts from Masanobu Fukuoka (Natural Agriculture) and from Ernst Göstch (Syntropic Regenerative Agroforestry).
Also got influenced from the ideas I gathered with the different hosts and friends I met along my way, their different contexts, different issues, different visions, different ways..
I'll be glad to share about it

Got some natural building skills from a course focused on adobe bricks, wattle and daub, and cob.
From some friends and meetings I have learnt to make thatched roof in different ways with different plants.

I do therapeutic massage, with background teachings of Thaï massage (school and private teachers). Still studying functional anatomy, trigger points, fascias, energetic points and lines.. I have my own compound style, keep on improving it. I like to share about the fantastic creation that is the body and the symbiosis relationship with the mind and the emotions.
If you want, I can share one to you

I would love to learn or just generaly sharing about the magicka of the Life : the relationships between the beings, the relationships between (un)consciousness, emotions, body...

Can still write about plenty of stuff we could teach, learn and share together...

Anyone can be a teacher
The other is a school
Let's learn from each other :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

If we live together I feel natural I help you for food spendings, cooking, cleaning...
Share about Yoga asanas, meditation, breathwork exercises, Qi Gong practice, massage
and all what we'll want to share !

I like to cook everyday - cooking spontaneously what is available on the day and trying to associate the ingredients harmoniously - adept of intuitive cooking

I don't eat animals.
Nevertheless concerning fruits, veggies, mushrooms, nuts and chocolate I'll be glad to share some delicacies with you ;)

Countries I’ve Lived In

Cambodia, France, French Polynesia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, New Caledonia, Philippines, Thailand, Viet Nam
