CURRENT MISSION

(secret mission)

ABOUT ME

A bon vivant and beauty lover. I cherish life and everything it brings- an incurable optimist although huge dark clouds do gather on my brow occasionally. Sometimes feeling pointless, I'm a dreamer, I loose my keys, I have problems with factual memory but very good analytical skills, I value justice, I feel very happy in big spaces and when I sing, I think sense of humour and art can cure you out of everything.

Together with Guillaume we are the cynique-romantique :)
