I am 24 years old, downshifter in training, traveling, looking for a place that answers my longings and for people who share them. I grew up in Switzerland, close to the forest, and after I finished school I was mainly travelling, writing and working on farms. Recently I tried to summarize what I really want to do in my life and I posted a small text, an invitation to X, to the place of my longings, translated into
english,
french and
german.
