About Me

Hi, We don't accept guess at this beginning of year 2018 because we are changing appartment soon and we are very busy with alll the moving stuff and organisation.

ABOUT ME

I'm Sylvain, a french guy living for a few years now with Sofie, a swedish girl.

I've lived in toulouse for quite a long time now and this is really a great city.
I am tring to find the right combinaison between my interests and work life. I really enjoy meeting new people with different cultures and vision of life. I also like having another view of our world that is more reflecting by local point of views than from our traditional and rarely objectives mass medias. I'm currently trying to find a job that is more coherent with my values: participative democracy, humanism and ecology.

PHILOSOPHY

Be positive!
That's even more true nowadays with financial crisis, and more and more angry people in Europe. But going on humanitary project as Togo in Africa gives me this paradoxal impression than we are still really lucky to live in France but most of people there are not happy at all, contrary as in poor countries as Togo.

We can change anything, acting together.
More and more people in occidental countries are selfish, thinking than they can't change anything because they are too small in this globalize world. But we start to think and act together, it is possible to achieve great things!
