Hello, I am Elisabeth, I grew up in a small town near the swiss boarder, and have lived in Strasbourg for quite a few years now. I have lived in Geneva (Swizerland) for a year, and in Australia. I share a flat in the city, with 3 people.

CURRENT MISSION / Simplifying

PHILOSOPHY / Openness to learn, open hands to share

"Marcheur, ce sont tes traces ce chemin, et rien de plus ;
Marcheur, il n'y a pas de chemin, le chemin se construit en marchant.
En marchant se construit le chemin
Et en regardant en arrière on voit la sente que jamais on ne foulera à nouveau
Marcheur, il n'y a pas de chemin,
Seulement des sillages sur la mer"
- Antonio Machado
