CURRENT MISSION

Finding my own path outside the dominant mainstream economic/political system, living off-grid in Portugal since 3 years

ABOUT ME

I am originally from Geneva, although I have not lived there for 14 years now, having lived in Scotland, England, Germany and Portugal for lengthy periods. I love nature and meeting people from different paths of life and cultures.

My aim is to live a simple, independent, free and meaningful life and to be as self-sufficient as possible. I try to live close to nature and to my values and principles. This is why I live where I live and the way I live, without heating and electricity in a little wooden cabin on friends' land, practising and learning every day about self-sustainability.

Little warning, you wont find me on Facebook, or any other social media.

Travelling for travelling is not my thing, I like to get to know a place, its history, its traditions, through meeting local people and learn about their lives and their thoughts, and share simple moments

PHILOSOPHY

Be free and explore

Individual freedom and look after your neighbour

Living above your needs is already stealing feom your neighbour

Music, Movies, and Books

Greatly varies depending on my mood and season. Listening to music and watching movies have become very rare since moving into my wooden hut. Reading whatever books I can find or the ones gently left behind by visitors

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sauna in Finland in December, frozen lake, snow and -10 degres outside, 80 degres inside the sauna, and too many beers
