ABOUT ME

Hello all of you, beautiful friends and family!!!
I love permaculture... growing food, Voluntary simplicity, I try to stay away of consummation and live simply. I like listening music and musician playing. I love playing guitar in a park under the trees, walking bearfoot!!! I like cooking and learn new healthy and less healthy recipes. I'm a bit crazy about environment, I think about recycling and my Co2 emission each day, eat food that is unprocessed, organic. I Love speaking spanish :)

I like to play sports like Ultimate Frisbee, volleyball, snowboarding, surfing, swimming, but difinately, riding bike is my favourite. I love to visit museum, art gallery, trekking, rock climbing! After all those things, it's good to relax in a hammock and read a good book in a forest!

PHILOSOPHY

Où le vent me mènera, j'irai!
Destiny is a powerfull things, follow the sings.
All structures are unstable,
Everything is unpermanent!

My trip in Nicaragua is still the best souvenir ever :) I stayed one month with a Nicaraguan family to build a basketball court with a group of Canadians.
