ABOUT ME

hello,

we are a happy young family; Joris, Nora, Ilian (born 2010), Edua (born 2013) .
When at home , besides working as agile coach we spend all time with kids and dog (7 y o)
when we travel we tend to stay agile, dynamic and open minded, multicultural adventurous.

we're trustworthy, social & open minded people , ideological, consequent vegan + chill!

why vegan?
Climate threats & nature change... hopeful to see that 1 day almost everyone agrees these need for personal engagement.
from peace and respect point of view, we try to live by ecological principles as harmless as possible to all living creatures.
so seriousness, discipline & open minded tolerance are some keywords to guide an inclusive lifestyle.

this social way of life, learned little by little and still learning every day; step by step to understand its real meaning, gives us unlimited spaces to put creativity and consciousness in service of respect... that'€™s why we consider the word €œvegan€ as an adjective with the same meaning of hâppy€ ...shiny, humane...

To choose vegan means to choose all that is good for us, all children, all animals, our Planet and its resources, all sentient beings.

today, it is almost world widely amazing to discover that almost every place (restaurants, pizzerias, bars, ...) could offer a simple but rich and complete food, if a bit creativity is there, the quality can follow.

But vegan is not only about food. It is a way of living that goes beyond the edges of the kitchen to reach our daily choices, filling relation towards every other with respect and consciousness.
Organic, ecological, fair trade, recycled, reused … These are only few terms of this WONDERFUL LIFE!
not just blablabla ...

nevertheless I'm realistic & not fanatic (at least trying), I support & plan to work/volunteer for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

luckily we do not smoke, & are very sensitive to smelly, smoky sigars & sigarettes !

PHILOSOPHY

veg*ism, yoga, tai chi, ecology, multiculturalism

be nice , good karma and learn every day what life has to offer, beauty in nature and culture
