About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find myself through meditation, writing, practising permaculture, humour, and meeting new people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer who woke up. After 27 years of parisian life, I winded up in the countryside, and I'm a part of the TERA project : www.tera.coop

I've been working for television and the cinema industry for a decade now, my head deep in Parisian turmoil and agitation. but i'm slowly transiting from this lifestyle to a new one.

Permaculture, resilience, transition (as in https://transitionnetwork.org/), healing myself and helping others to do it, reconnecting with nature... this is my new playground.

PHILOSOPHY

I open my ears and my eyes, as most as I can. I'm curious about everything, and aware of my surroundings. I think that everyone and every situation has something to teach me.
After a first life spent trying to fing happiness outside of me, I finally understood that the answer is inside. I’m currently exploring this intuition to find happiness where it truly resides.

Interests

Manga. Sci-fi and adventure litterature and movies. Theatre. Video games. All things Japanese. Walking in the mountains. Music (at least one hour a day).
