I am curious, open minded, tidy and organised when travelling with people and a mess when travelling on my own :) Do not know why...
I love food and cooking, discovering all people's culinary habits and new taste.

I am also interested in sustainability and have lived few years in an "eco-village"
I am a big fan of wwoofing (willing workers on organic farms)
volunteer activities, exchange that do not include money and sharing experience with elder or some real expert..

I like to take care of people specially children and babies but do not see myself as a full time social worker or childcare..
I took four siblings as a foster family for 6 months. That was intense!

Obviously I love travelling all around the world...discovering cultures and language. I am interested in linguistic and why some people have so many/few words to describe some things/part of their life... For example in some Scandinavian language there is 6 to 10 times more ways to say "bois" (wood in French) like wood as the material, the place you go for a walk, the thing you use to make a fire,... and the word "snow" in Inuit... let's talk about all of that when we meet :)

ABOUT ME

I am a dynamic person who can be really talkative sometime and also very quiet and relaxed at other moments.
I love scuba diving, Yoga, walking in the forest, listening to the rain hidden in a warm place, listenning to classical music with a warm Chai tea...
But It happens that I go out and dance all night like I would be 16 or listen very loudly to Ramstein (metal music) doing my house cleaning ;)

I cannot stop having interesting discussion about life...What it is for me to be human...my values, my ethics. I like to share point of view about society and what everyone can do to "make it better"
I like to meet new people. I am open minded and always want to learn...

I value a lot knowledge...with humility//
criticism......with positivism//
engagement.....with an open-mind//
truth......with respect of privacy and freedom//
anarchy.......with no violence//
libertarian philosophy....with strong personal ethics//

I try to be aware of things without being a tyran to myself. I do my best to protect wildlife and I stop buying meat and most animal products who are not 'organic' but I am not a full time vegetarian as I love meat/fish/eggs... I try to ride a bike, take trains and hitchike for having a smaller impact (carbon footprint) but I still take some plane... for the moment...

I prefer to put some harder goal evrery now and then...doing things step by step :)

PHILOSOPHY

the important its not the aim of the journey but the journey itself...
Meet people

Learn
Laugh
Feel
Respect
Resist

"Do it your self" The most I can
