About Me

CURRENT MISSION

In route for Transition... With my co-habitants, we have founded a Community Land Trust (CLT) where we are about to self-build 5 appartments in a wood structure. We now live in yourts, waiting for the green lights of the urbanists.

ABOUT ME

About ten years ago, I realised reading books about all the problems arising on Earth was just too demoralizing. Therefore I decided to make something real about it and I became involved in the Transition Town mouvement. With friends, I have created a complementary currency in Mons, Le Ropi, for instance. We have also created a Community Land Trust (CLT) in 2012 on a land of 6Ha with beautiful trees and ponds, where to build a community housing for 5 families... and to implement many more projects (permaculture, arts, ...). We have installed 3 yourts where I live now with another family.It is a bit cold during winter but not as hard as you may think :-)

PHILOSOPHY

I try to have a 'permaculture' way of life, but there is still a long way to go... Hopefully it never ends, or I'll get bored ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first would like to invite people here. We have extra beds available in the yourtes.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not any experience yet, but I have friends who do have for quite a while. They make me feel it is a nice thing, and I would like to contribute.

Music, Movies, and Books

This is hard to answer. I don' have a good memory for remembering names, styles, and I like so many things. But what I don't like for sure is electromusic or boum-boum music. So please bring your head-set if you want to listen to it at my place!
