Hello there! I'm actually a web developer in a french company in Paris. I've been working in that area since 7 years now and started to be insterested into ecology 5 years ago. I started with the "ungrowth" movement and then got involved into Greenpeace as a volunteer into a local group.

Then, 3 years ago a friend of mine introduced me to permaculture, he had a bunch of videos he found on the internet and i watched a few of them. It seemed to me very amazing and incredible to see all the possibilities this was opening to the world. I did a course, not a permaculture course though, it was more of a ecological agriculture course made by a french association Kokopelli. It has been my first real introduction to working with the soil and really got me into it.

In 2009 i participated to the first permaculture meeting in France, held by Brin de paille a french permaculture association. There, i really started to meet people knowing what permaculture is, it really pleased me and i still have a good memory of it. I few months later i started to participate a bit into Brin de paille by helping around web stuff.

Now, i'm still living in an urban area, with my lovely wife in a big studio. I created an AMAP farther down south as i think it is a very intersting way to help people getting closer to agriculture when they live in a urban area. I don't have much plan directly related to permaculture right now, but we do grow some vegetables here!

If for some reason you would pass by the north-west Paris, you'll be more than welcome to stop by us ! You can even do it via my profile on Couchsurfing if you want here : http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/tat4nka/

See you !
