About Me

CURRENT MISSION

remain curious and fascinated by people, drawing a new model of society

ABOUT ME

WAOW...
I've born 29 years ago in a region of France called "Lorraine".It's located in Northen-East of the country.
I lived there,in a small village,which presented more cows than inhabitants until I moved to the Castles' region for my studies and, last but not least, finally set up in Auvergne, the Volcanos french region. :-)

I'm what we could call a "countrygirl" (without being negativ for people concerned :-p). I just like to spend my time outside, I especially like cities for their pubs or their concert hall but I feel people more stressed there. But I 'm ready to see the contrary when you want, you who have urban life! ;-p. I've to admit, after leaving some months in Paris, that urban life can have its advantages and can be a pleasure too. Clermont Ferrand is a very nice city to live in too.

Otherweise, I'm curious.I'm daily fascinated by what Nature give us. There are details sometimes so funny, and sometimes so, hmmm,...But everytime I find that really interesting!Do you know that trees could communicate between themselves? I'll tell you the complete story next time for those who are interested!

But, I also have a normal life!! :-) I'm not all the time looking at insects and plants and so on...I like to go to concerts,jumping on Ska, to have fun,to meet people, and to travel as everyone here...

PHILOSOPHY

waow...
I hope my personal philosophy isn't completely defined! For the moment I tend to believe in what the biologist James Lovelock called "Gaïa hypothesis" that proposes that the living and nonliving parts of the earth form a complex intercating system that can be thought of as a single organism.I consequently try to be the more consistent I can toward that in my all day life...and since one big consequence of this proposal is that we are dependant of a living system that can be broken by our lack of responsability, I can not imagine my life not sharing with people about the importance of defining a fair society model,that includes having a political opinion on how to reach justice and discuss on it with people to share ideas.
