音乐、电影和书籍

Music: very eclectic tastes. I used to sing in acapella world music choirs so love discovering songs from all around the world. I also have worked as a music roadie in the US with folk and rock bands. I enjoy a range of genres and artists ranging from Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne to Eddie Vedder, blues, rock, folk, etc... I enjoy music with vocal harmonies as I like to sing along to them. I also play in a number of bands here in New Zealand, which are also pretty eclectic (instrumental 7 guitar orchestra, 60s/70s six-piece cover band, French music trio, historical band performing songs about old New Zealand, ukulele orchestra, etc...).

Movies: again, pretty eclectic. Some of my favorites include The Shawshank Redemption, The Bucket List, When Harry Met Sally, Men In Tights, Monty Python, Marx Brothers, The Gods Must Be Crazy, Being There, Shrek 1, Catch Me If You Can, etc etc...

Books: Siddartha, Birdy, How To Escape From Prison, books by Mark Twain and many others.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I hiked the Annapurna circuit in Nepal on my own without a guide and this somehow lead to me joining an all-Nepali fusion music band in Kathmandu with whom we recorded an album and a music video.

教，学，和分享

I'm always keen to share music and am open to learning a vast variety of skills. I speak French and English fluently and would be happy to swap some language lessons for whatever you might want to teach (cooking, music, art, mechanics, dancing, origami, ....). Can offer some music lessons or jamming. I can also teach basics of home recording if you've got the equipment.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I will happily share stories from my travels and deep conversations. I can offer some music tuition and/or French lessons. Or write a song together for someone you want to surprise? I am happy to do a bit of cooking and cleaning. Keen to learn from everyone I meet and share everything I have learned from life so far. ..
