About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Share my enthousiasm, my life experience.

ABOUT ME

I try not to take myself serously. I'm curious, authentic, respectfull, generous. I like share with others people.
I changed of life few times.I was a mecanic engineer. I was a typical urban person. Now I prefer countryside, nature and quiet place. And I try to be wiser day after day.
I'm intersted by nature, trekking, people, language, philosophy, cultures, arts, sports. I like to learn. Learn about people, about the world around me, to understand the deep of things and to be in harmony with myself, others people and environnement.

PHILOSOPHY

We can't control the wind, but we can adapt the sail.
