About Me

After a few years travelling and being welcomed by many people in many places, I finally have a place to call home with my girlfriend, Bérangère.

I used to work as a winemaker in France, and then in Australia. I left on my travels to learn more about myself, with a particular interest in Buddhism. Along my way, I discovered permaculture, and have wwoofed a lot in India, Nepal, New Zealand, the USA and France. I hope some day to establish a collaborative permaculture project in the region, to produce our own food and take care of the land, and to help to introduce visitors to the wonders of nature. I enjoy cycle touring and hiking, and whenever I get a chance like to take off for a few days or weeks or longer!
