A little bit about me
Hey! I’m Cécilia, a 32 year old engineer from France.
I decided to put my skills and knowledge for the benefit of sustainable development through natural and innovative solutions.
Short Bio
A few details…
Born and raised in the center of France, it’s after a mechatronical engineering degree that I decided to pack my bag and wonder the globe. My journey took me from India to Peru going throught Mongolia, Tibet, Japan, Cambodia, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Bolivia, Kenya, Madagascar and many more.
During this journey, I realized the complexity of the world, its beauties as well as its shadows, and their balance. Cultures, histories, beliefs, cycles, natural as well as man-made landscapes.
I started volunteering in India, then Lao, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina… and couldn’t stop. It was during a PDC in Kenya that I got introduced to Superadobe by a fellow participant.
After 5 years on the road, it was time to go back home. But I brought the earth-bag technique with me. I signed up for CalEarth workshop in Morocco and stayed in touch with the teaching team. I had the chance to assist to 2 other workshops in France later this year.
Being now passionate about this technique and its strengths, I’m eager to transmit my passion for those nature-like curved buildings.
