Bio
| Share about yourself with the community | There’s a lot we could all say about ourselves! The short intro for Regen Tribe is, I grew up in a city feeling out of place and yearning for nature and community, and have devoted myself to these since. I have no one school of thought but rather love to learn and share with many different people. I speak English, French and Spanish, love to travel and welcome visitors. My close people are very important to me and I try to create/co-create surplus to help others. I also love solitude, meditation, fitness. |
