About me

Welcome! My two main topics:

Outdoor events

My partner Murielle and I (Meenhard) invite you:

  • hikes (walkabouts)
  • camps (retreats, in Aug)
  • paddle tours (in Oct)

The events are open, free, outdoor, sustainable, with a raw food diet, mostly one week long, mostly in southern Spain, and beautiful - watch out the reports, photos and videos of more than 100 past events!
About our events

Simplicity

Let's start a better world!
Murielle and I like simplicity, sustainability and health. We live in a wooden cottage with no heating, no car, no fridge, no cooking...

We dig a small trench as a toilet and hang a hose outside as a shower. We live like this, not because we have to, but because we want to.

Can you imagine that?
