CURRENT MISSION
Have a second shot of vaccin and resume traveling as soon as possible. I'll be hosting again when I come back if the pandemic allows it.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel. I can cross the world for an Opera performance, for walking in an unknown town, for taking pictures or just sit and admire. At home I listen to music - mostly classical but I'm open-minded, and watch old movies. I seldom do sport but I can use a bike as transportation.
I love what surprises me. I love to learn. Even retired I think I will never stop feeling as a teacher

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite movie : All about Eve (Mankiewicz Bette Davis)
Favourite book Le petit prince Saint Exupery (looks like my philosophy) - For the moment I read mostly Jane Austen and Henry James (it improves my English) and I listen to Opera (it improves my Italian)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Beautiful towns : New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, Rio, Rome, Venise, Pise
Beautiful people - people you can trust and who trust you
