About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cycle cities, learn and drink fresh beer

ABOUT ME

I am dedicating my life to promote urban cycling as a means of transportation in an urban context. I live in Bogota, Colombia but was born in France from a Basque mother and North American father. Yes it pretty fucked up, but I have some nice story to tell you about. Easy going with my social relationships, I enjoy discovering your life style and your food.

I see life in a simple way without overdoing it. I take my time and live day by day until the road ends.

I really like to cook for others. Cooking is more about improvising than fallowing strictly a recept. Do not expect anything special, I might open your fridge and do something out of what you got !

I've been living in shared flats since 2009. I love sharing what i have and spend time with others.

In oter words, we should find something to talk about !

PHILOSOPHY

Give without waiting for something, respect others opinions, share share and share what I have with everyone, help people i can, try to live a simple life, learn about what I ignore, always be curious, listen the one who is speaking... Very simple things but that are not so easy to apply in every day life.
Show respect to others culture and philosophy just because there is never only one answer.
