CURRENT MISSION Rooting in mysterious and beautiful Central Brittany ("Kreiz Breizh" as we call it here). ABOUT ME After a long period exploring the world and myself, I am back in the heart of Brittany for a completely new type of adventure. Together with my girlfriend we bought a house in the countryside with a big plot and the idea to turn it into a small scale farm. We started this project 5 years ago and we had 2 kids since : Eliaz (2018) and Anouk (2020). When we have a bit of time we also to go work paid jobs.... I'm a part-time biology teacher in High School and she is a salesperson in the local organic shop.
