Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I've seen sunsets and flowers and animals in the wild, trees, plants, leaves and grass. I've seen the ocean, water flowing, fire and sparks, clouds on a full moon, colored stones, snowy mountains, a colored full dish of food...and lovely smiles :)

Lived 1 year in a Vipassana meditation center/community in the Romanian mountains of Transilvania.
Help rebuilding houses from a fire in Patagonia in an Art of Living long project.
Crossed the Andes Mountains in a 7 days bike trip with my father :)
Learned to surf in the beautiful beaches in the northeast of Brazil.
