CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people and understanding how they live

ABOUT ME

We met a year and a half ago during our studies, and now that it's done we wanna discover Southern America! Our goal is to see how people create and live and share ideas on how to live in an alternative way, by being more independant and more creative in our everyday life.

PHILOSOPHY

One day, someone told me (Maïté) this... "The three persons who matter the most in your life are:
- the one you would like to be
- the one you think you are
- the one you really are
It's up to you to make them become one."

Interests

We started learning permaculture and would like to develop it, as well as any other technique that allows us to be self-sufficient as much as possible.
We believe in new ways of living, through creativity and sharing skills. Bored of our consumption society...
We wanna apply what we learned during our design studies in an alternative context and find real innovative ideas that take our whole environment in account.
