About Me

I'm quiet, loving Nature, organic farming, short local nets as new social and economic systems.
I've been a marine biologist, an organic farmer, and a globetrotter.
Actually I manage a farm in a school teaching agriculture and Nature conservation.

For a piece of the story (which could interest travellers), in may 2017 I've left everything, I've sold/given what I had, and I left my town, family and friends. Then, started a worldtour. I had no date, no strong plan. I liked to stay in places as volunteer, mostly in farms because I love nature and countryside. Sometimes I made housesitting, which is another good way to discover local life.

After two years around the world, I came back in my native Brittany in june 2019.

PS : If you like partying, drinking alcohol, coming back late in the night, etc, I'm not the good person to send a request ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
