CURRENT MISSION

keep growing inside by an ever quest for emotions

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, nomadic, instinctive & freedom addicted, 1/2 dane 1/2 french. Officialy in the early 30's, but rather floating somewhere between 20 and 50! Quite rootless, but the good thing is that almost any place on earth feels homeland.

Just can't get enough out of Life. Want to squeze every single drop of it. Fascinated by nature and by what some people are able to achieve.

PHILOSOPHY

Passenger of Life.

Well, something I prefer to discuss about around a drink or under the stars ...

In a few words, you can mix and shake Nietzsche, Darwin & Freud: you will get an agnostic naturalist guided by his instincts, and who believes to be quite manipulated by his unconsciousness !

I do not believe in absolute truth.
Tolerance and respect are fundamental, because we are also the fruit of our background, experiences and gifts, not only of what we try to be...

In my eyes, what is important is not only what we achieve, but especially how we did & where we started from.

Having goals in life is probably just an artifact to help accepting death. It is OK if life goes on without me. I am just part of an experience. Life is a gift. Enjoy it. Enjoy the basics. Enjoy simplicity. Forget about consumerism and materialistic illusions.
Try to be lucid and get the whole picture.

By the way, don't make life too easy; the quest is much more exciting than the achievement itself.

French sayings I get inspired from:
- " C'est l'obstacle qui fait sauter le cheval..."
- " Qu'est ce que je ferais, si j'etais moins con ?"
- " Ne jamais se complaire dans la médiocrité"

My dream: live several different lives within this one.

Wow. still courageous enough to meet and get a couch ??? Anyway, you don't have to agree on all this to be welcome !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discovered how much reciprocal joy is actually provided by so little as ditributing pencils & goods to school-kids in villages like krib-krib (Aïr, Niger) & Afamia (oronte valley, Syria).

Discovered breathing relaxation techniques (entered in transe), yoga, massage and how deeply it provides well being and how little we actually take care of our soul and body.

And here comes some hints for fantastic Nature/Human travels to be shared if it gives you ideas:
