  Description

  39 years old sound artist and gardener.
  I like walking in the nature to find mushrooms, swimming in lakes after a trek in mountains, and exchange with people.
  2 years ago i found the perfect place to create an oasis (kind of earthship) for passing travelers with an autonomous open air kitchen
  Fruits and vegetables will be produced and transformed on place for the passing travelers and to exchange with neighbors for meat, eggs, services...
  Landscapes are beautiful around, no light pollution.
  Gardening is a passion, before as professionnal, now i experiment and share what i understand.
  More than 200 fruit trees (local old varieties) on 2ha were planted and a big crazy garden has been created, this has to be maintain with love and passion ❤️🍑🫐🍒🍓🍉🍇🍏❤️
  Many projects coming...
  - More trees to plants (grappes, citruses, strawberries, kiwis...)
  - Fruit processing room
  - Open air movie theater
  - 2 huts (kerrterre) for relaxation and soundexperiences, also to host :)
  - Rainwater collecting ( set up 40 cubic meter water reserve, with a pond and irrigation system)
  
  Respect is really important for me... after that i am open minded and like to communicate.
  
  Last but not least, three cats are living here. They dont like dogs, so... no dogs ! kangouroo, colibris, elephant and girafe welcomed!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I like to exchange knowledges, ideas, and social human culture.
  The goal of the place is the cultural exchange.
  Gardening, cooking, playing music, make a fire, having activities together are perfect moments to learn about others. About Gardening, i think you could learn a lot, and i will be happy to learn about gardening from your country... I am also really interested in natural medicines and related plants from foreigner countries.
  About cooking, i would say that i like it and i like to discover other way to do, especially when it is not french ;)
  
  For other activities i like to laugh, and speak about anything, no taboo, no judgement,
  
  I love art in general and discovering new talents. This place is also done to make artists feel free to express themselves and share ideas from everywhere together.
  For musicians, sometimes there are some jam sessions here with local ones, so could be fun😏
  
  About living out of the grid, you could have an idea of what to think about at the end of your stay (i think)
  What you could learn here is limited only by the length of your stay, which is 2 weeks max

  Help

  I have already help from friends and neighbors but now it is time to open the place and make it live for travelers, to share.
  The idea is that travelers help me to maintain the place, and i help travelers to pass.
  Workawayers won't be helping with paying customers.
  Not searching for particular skills, just to be aware that tasks are changing a lot with the meteo and the season.
