CURRENT MISSION

We're a French couple, just stopped working (both carpenters) to travel for a while, discover, learn, discover, learn, have fun.... live! We are very interested in learning agriculture and ecological wood work.

ABOUT ME

We love life and want to enjoy every part of it, especially by travelling and meeting new people. I have lot of energy and really like meeting people, exchanging points of view about life and culture.

We try to find new ways of living, with respect for nature and human kind.

This Summer we've travelled with our van through France and met people living from their own work: agriculture, wood work etx. We also experienced new lifestyles with them.
I attented a Vipassana meditation course in Swizerland and quit smoking right after it! I also changed my drinking habits for a less quantity and higher quality style... We can axchange about it anytime, even per mail, this experience has been great for me and I'm eager to share it and see people around me live it to...

We love good food and good wine / playing cards / preparing our backpacks for a new destination / picking a destination / colorful clothes / DRINKING TEA WHOLE DAY LONG / wath ching good road movies / building wooden structures / Want to learn how to build extremely ecological houses out of local material... and so much more...

We sometimes go out for whole days, sometimes stay home and play lazy

We love playing cards

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life, take care of it and take whatever it offers you !
