Again : several possibilities with my prof occupations - Furnitures Restorator ; Antique dealer - Green building conductor & constructor - Expert in Real Estate.
Quiet places ! silent ... desert landscapes with just a few neighborough. That';s enough to make a man feel happy. With & elected few & some others may say "selected" one... but i'm too much opened to close firmly my mind and change my previous way of living and acting. too late !
Mum, ... scandinavian "reserved" mentality. But, only when it's too much. Consumerist behaviours when and which, occulted ... erased sometimes other aspects of life. Too much still stands too much. lack of food, wine, gastronomy,culture osv...
