CURRENT MISSION

Take life to the next level.

Hello.I live in the Chamonix valley, I love living in the countryside and here at 1000M There is an amazing view of some of the biggest mountains in Europe, i have been vegan for some time now (roughly 23 years) I enjoy being vegan, it makes sense to be humane and protect the environment at the same time and it's also a healthy diet, I also cut back on all cereals and products containing cereals by around 90-96% for around 2 years now. I highly recommend trying this, feel free to ask me about it, there are at least 4 reasons behind this..
I enjoy some mountain sports, over the last few years I've taken a different approach to how I get involved with this.
You might catch me doing some mountain biking, hiking or sometimes climbing from time to time. I ski with my kids during the winter.
I used to be a ski bum who did outdoor sports almost all of the time but not so much these days.
I love the mountains and equally love the water. I love sailing when i get the chance. Music is another passion of mine I used to DJ more often and sometimes try my hand at some electronic music composition.
I also like photography but don't get my camera out as often as I should. You don't have to be vegan or vegetarian to surf my couch but i am keen to meet more vegans/vegetarians.

PHILOSOPHY

Self employed philosopher, seeking balance in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to mix up the music that i listen to, i find i prefer to listen to a wide range of genres. I enjoy reading but i don't always have a book on the go, mostly if I'm traveling or have plenty of free time. I don't have a television and rarely watch tv sometimes when there is a tv i find i'm wasting time flicking through the channels, television can be addictive, i enjoy watching films from time to time but prefer not to watch too much trash.
Update. I became a bit addicted to youtube it has messed up

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling was something interesting I used to do more of.
Nearly got crushed by a huge avalanche, cycled across the highest alpine mountains for over two weeks from Switzerland to the coast in Italy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Wanna learn about dj'ing? vegan foods and cooking? how to fix almost anything? I may be able to lend an ear if you have problems that need discussing with someone.
I can teach the basics of welding, soldering, photography, film making and much much more.....
