ABOUT ME

I was born in a house full of music, my mother is a music teacher in a Rudolf Steiner school where I went for 6 years. I grew up in folk music, forest, playing outside, painting, doing some bred... A colourfully education that I never forget.

Then I've donne some circus, wood construction, music classe (piano, drums) I played concert with my bands (funk, folk, children choire) learn how to drive a tractor, then a car. But I got tired of school, I succeeded to get in a conservatory but failed to get out of high school so I had to restarted my last year.

Now I'm out of school, I didn't wanted to start university before seeing the world, meeting different cultures, see what can be done on earth. So, with, my girlfriend, we took our backpacks and started walking south. But still, I think often at what I wanted to do in my life, where I want to live... I'm going to be musician one day, piano player. I'm fascinated by jazz music, improvisation, colourful chords... I wish I could played piano every day but I couldn't put one in my backpack so I'm a Ukulele player for now.

Creative, open Minded, I like a lot of things. I like humans, their look, they lives, I like to hear people talking even in a language that I don't understand, I like making eyes contacts, learning about their routine... I'm a kid, constantly asking me questions, how it's made? what is she thinking? I'm paying attention to little détails, I can have fun seeing someone waiting for a friend in the street. It's fun how contacts are making by themselves.

I also like big place, mountains, see and océans, forest, big natural reserve, where there is space and silence.

ESTELLE

Hey!! I'm writing something here as well, because I'm travelling with Emile for the moment, and probably for a good while!
I met him.... well, I don't remember the first time we met! It's a long time since we pass into each other lives. But now, we are living together!
I love travelling, discovering new lands, new people, new breathtaking landscapes, living on the path. But above all, it is quite amazing to share this with someone, and feel all the things we learn from it about living together, about the other.
But I had to talk about myself.
I grew up in an organic vegetable farm, run by my parents. And that was fantastic. I love nature, beeing in the countryside, discovering and learning all what I can about that. I love horses and archery, did some circus for a good while. I love to simply move; dancing, running, acting, acrobatics, climbing, knowing my body and all its capacities. I also like arts, more dance and theatre, but actually also plastic arts, and a bit of music.

I don't really have one phrase to tell how I think, there are too many.... or, maybe, simply.... LIVE!

We are really calm people, polite, we like cooking, help our host by cleaning, go shopping or anything. But yes, it should be normal.
