    Description

    I live in the south suburb of Bordeaux (12 minutes by train, the station is quite close to our home) in a house built by ourselves on 1000 m2. We are next to one large natural space (wood, ponds). And also not very far from the highway which goes to Arcachon and the Pyla Dune and the ocean.

    My main interest is about the roots of the ecological crisis and how we can change our civilization to a more human one. (see Article en Français :

    I love to travel and I especially love French Polynésia.

    I need help with small DIY projects at home (plastering etc.), need a little help in the garden, and above all need help to rough out the creation of work of art. wooden art (because I have tendinitis in my shoulder and I can't do everything anymore).
