  • Description

    Hello dear community ! I am an eternal learner always looking for new experiences and new lifestyle. I have worked and lived in several countries. I'm authentic and I like to accomplish projects, to bring them to their finals destinations. I am not lazy although I take a lot of time to relax and enjoy time with friends and family. I have done a lot of sailing, windsurf and kitsurf. I'm now involved full time on a sailing project. My wife and a friend bought a sailboat 4 years ago and we are actually doing a tour of the North Atlantic Ocean.
    Right now in Sénégal, we will be in December 2024 in Tobago !

    I know a lot about energy transition. I worked with the energy ministry for 4 years and did a PhD sustainable building.

    I'm traveling with my wife and we are both deeply involved in the transition toward a sustainable world. We are looking for inspiring projects that involved organic farming, resilience, reforestation, wildlife protection, community building, etc. One day we will settle down and build our own project. We want to support yours in the mean time :)
