CURRENT MISSION

Learning Japanese, seeing Japan differently, learning to be closer to nature, helping if i can

ABOUT ME

Bored of my life and job in France, i needed a change and came to Japan for one year. I wanted to learn Japanese and enjoy the country. I discovered Kyoto and felt in love with this city then the March earthquake and tsunami happened. Since then i spent some time improving my Japanese and then came to Ofunato working as a relief volunteer.

PHILOSOPHY

what is living and what is life fulfilling? I want to understand that so for now i travel.

We should try wondering if we need all the stuff we buy or use. Maybe we can be more respectful of our planet if we refuse pointless consumerism. Also grow your own food as much as you can.

Google is not evil but i may be wrong. Facebook definitely is (just joking or?).
