About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be joyful.

ABOUT ME

Not easy to say about oneself.
I think this part will improve as it goes along. So to begin with...
My wife is midwife (she worked in Africa) and I am in a wheelchair after a ski accident some 29 years ago.
Among others, I have been wheelchair tennis player for several years and now I retired.
We are rawfoodists (we eat only raw fruits and some vegetables), we don't smoke or drink, and enjoy very simple life.
We live in the mountains near Grenoble, in the French Alpes.
For a couple of years now, we are travelling all around the world, using local transportations (bus, train, boat, walking...), meeting and getting to know our big human family.

PHILOSOPHY

Estu la ŝanĝo, kiun vi deziras vidi en la mondo - Gandhi
(In Esperanto: "Be the change you wish to see in the world.")
