Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meet people, discover new cultures and of course save the world!
I'm currently travelling for 3months in Southeast Asia with my girlfriend, Valerie. We are trying to discover a lot of communities and eco places where we can learn about permaculture, natural building and community living! When we come back in Europe we will travel in France, Spain and Portugal with the same idea of meeting and sharing and we hope to settle our own permaculture farm the following year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The date I turned 18 I flew to Costa Rica and spend a year in Central America travelling, working, volunteering and... partying. Definitely one of the most mind blowing moment of my life.
Last year, I did an intern ship in an Indian organization dealing with waste management. We helped to settle a new collection and recycling system in the middle of the Himalaya's mountains.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can show you how to simply repair your bicycle (and if we have some time, we can even try to transform your old grandma/grandpa bike into a trendy one!).
I love gardening and agriculture but as I'm living in a big city it is sometimes difficult to have access to the land. Therefore, I learned a lot of passionate alternatives such as window farms, hydroponics, aquaponics, etc! I'll be happy to learn and to share about urban agriculture.
I also love to cook and I'm always happy to discover and share recipes.
I love to learn new languages (especially that awkward moment when you try to repeat what you professor just teach you and you lamentably fail, but it's always a good laugh!). I can teach you French and English's basic!
I'm also a big beer fan and I get quite talkative about it (especially belgian ones ;)).
