CURRENT MISSION

I mostly decide to don't decide ;-)
I let myself flowing down the life. I see life like a river and I use my brain only when troubles could happen, like your paddle in a kayak. the rest of the time, it's my instinct who ride the kayak ;-)

After having worked in a tiny french island (île de Groix) last winter. I am on the move in my van right now. This summer I crossed with some friends Pyrenees on foot, and also ride 9 days along the vélodyssée, cycling route along the ocean atlantic.

I am just open at this moment to my next place to work, next place to help (woofing, exchanges), meet people.
No idea where I will "land" for the moment. In basque country right now.

I am also thinking about changing job and learn new skill especially in wood craft (carpenter, ship's carpenter...)

ABOUT ME

I'm a nomadic person, open minded, easy going and in love with Nature. I like to discover the wildest part of it on foot, ski, mountain bike, kayak or anything else able to connect me with...

My eyes are my guide. My body just follows...

I'm cultivating a slow way of moving or travelling or even living... stress-less ;-)

I like to spring into fields I'm totally beginner and adapt myself to this new environment: my last wish: discovering the ocean's world and be able soon to be enough independent to bring some friends by boat to connect parts of the world in a elegant way: only with the wind.

I'm trying to avoid as much as I can to take planes, it happens something but I would always try all the others ways before. after having read a sentence I found true: by planes we don't travel that much, we only change our position on earth. ...It needs time ;-) does it not logical? needed time for going far... and living slowly ;-)

I like to connect myself with differents people, differents culture, differents languages or sometimes only having fun of only observing them in a empathy way.

I like spending time as well in the different social part of any society.

I can't be unhappy cause I try always to see the good parts of any situation...

I don't give to much power to materials things, I don't have any base camp, my life is in a nomadic way: I work sometimes in France, then I take the road when I come back, I discover another part of France (about 6months, time to "feel" the territory), taking the road again...

I feel at home everywhere and I'm always very surprised about qualities and adaptabilities of humans.

PHILOSOPHY

THERE IS NO WAY TO HAPPINESS, HAPPINESS IS THE WAY. Buddha.

to have Time is the biggest richness we could find: perfect for understanding others, perfect for understanding ourselves, perfect for feeling environments, no need plenty of money.... just a little bit of money and plenty of time: time to exchange, time to share, time to enjoy, time to read, time to watch good movies, time to do nothing as well (plenty of people are really bad doing nothing ;-)), time to help, time to live and feel ourselves alive.

vivre c´est faire de ses reves un souvenir.to live is to change dreams into souvenir.vivir es hacer sus suenos un recuerdo.

Anyything is possible...always!

there is always positives things of any bads situations. just we have to keep OPEN our eyes (and mind) to see them...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like both:

to be a guide of the city where I am (I move a lot, each 6months usually) between 2 jobs in France, I keep going my quest of wild nature and lovely people...

to meet some locals people when I'm travelling to share, exchange and improve myself in differents ways...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
