Did you grow up in Loire-Atlantique..? or how did you discover this community?
I probably couldn't "hack it" out in the wilderness of NAD, but always regret having not joined a hippie co-op (living situation) while in college [I once dated a gal living in one... it was so neat and inexpensive, but she was a sloot].
Close by. I was in Nantes university (UFR) in 2009, failed to get my math bachelor degree in 2012 and took a gap year (i absolutely couldn't stand uni life anymore) where i lived between NDDL and youth camps as a counselor (also was part of "Les petits débrouillards" to teach kids science through experiments, but my expenses were barely covered to be totally honest, so i don't know if i could count this as a job).
