About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Change the World.

ABOUT ME

I am a calm, respectful & laidback type of person. Sometimes I am more into an energetic and party mode. I'm a smiling human being who likes to make people laugh and make them happy. As a very ambitious, positive and optimistic human being, I follow my dreams and passions every day.

I am working to develop a clothing line called ''Highpeace''. Made entirely with hemp materials.
I believe hemp can save the world.

I'm also working on the activist division of Highpeace. I have multiple white anti-riot suits because I believe that people in protests have the right to be protected by a non-violent force. More and more we see the militarization of the police and that makes me a little bit concerned for the future. I am wearing one in my pictures.

And my biggest dream is to build a self-sustainable off-grid community with Couchsurfers/travelers/friends/strangers.
Permaculture, smart greenhouses, aquaponics, solar panels, woofing, common pizza oven, international hostel type of vibes! :) I created a Facebook group for this dream. We are currently 427 members but it's mainly in French! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1613550502227215/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in love with people on CS. Open minded, good hearted people, funny, different, generous. They will share to me some of their knowledge & wisdom and I will do the same in return. The Couchsurfing Community is kinda a School of Life where you learn from experiences. You learn about how people see the world, their mindset, behaviors, their values. We talk about our trips, crazy stories, our ups & downs. Our beloved Planet Earth has so much to offer and we as brothers & sisters can help each other to grow and evolve.
