  • Description

    Hello! Currently in the most transformative time of our lives, we are traveling South America on an open-ended journey with our 4x4 and our tent. We have left behind all we knew in Paris, and are here to explore, connect, learn and transform our lifestyles.

    We are passionate about climate justice and biodiversity, building community, and the exploration of our minds.

    Marc is of Brazilian and European descent, he has family in Brazil, where we started our journey. He is a medical doctor, specialising in Vascular medicine/surgery, and he is not afraid of physical work. He also produces electronic music, DJ downtempo at festivals, and do woodworking in my spare time. I speak fluent French English Portuguese Italian, he is comfortable in Spanish and German and has notions in Japanese.

    Leonie used to work in energy and climate modelling in Paris and is now training to become a psychedelic facilitator, hoping to help more and more people deal with their ecological grief. She is a Yin Yoga teacher and passionate meditator, and madly in love with all kinds of animals. She also loves painting and other forms of visual arts and would be super excited to help with animal care or anything creative. She is fluent in German, English and French and comfortable in Spanish.

    We both have much to learn about agriculture and building, and would be grateful to learn from you about how to build a more sustainable life for us when we return to Europe one day.

    We plan to be in South America until the end of 2025 at least. We would love to meet and exchange with people along the way and inspire each other!

  • More details about your skills

    Marc -
    I am trained as a medical doctor, I have strong people skills with all ages, and strong language skills. I can use computers for both excel/spreadsheets but also for graphic design, as I used to do that to pay for my studies.
    I am comfortable with carpentry, as I always tried to build my own furniture. I am handy and can lift heavy things as necessary.
    I love creative cooking, and have experience cooking for large groups.
    I produce electronic music, and can DJ. I can also teach both of these skills.

    Leonie - I am trained in political and climate science and have extensive knowledge about global sustainability issues. I am very social and have experience teaching languages (English and German) to refugees. I grew up with many unusual pets, with biologist parents, and have a great connection to all kinds of animals. I can teach both Yin Yoga and different meditation techniques and love discussing spiritual traditions. I have deep knowledge about the psychedelic movement and am training as a psychedelic guide. I have an advanced Scuba license. I am engaged in running an international citizen initiative and have skills in data processing (Excel etc.). I am creative, especially when it comes to painting, and can set up beautiful murals or decorations.
