About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travelling and trying to figure out what my mext mission will be
ABOUT ME
I love to travel. Being out there, away, culture-shocks.I like to observe people from other cultures and to experiment with new types of food. I like the smell of life, trees, seas, mountains, rivers, animals, grass, wind... no rules, just feel free. A bit an 'Into the wild'-feeling, I guess!
On the other hand...
I like to work, to have a carreer, to read the financial section in the news papers.
PHILOSOPHY
I want to travel for amusement but also to broad'n my vision. If you know what's out there, it will be easier to know what you want, to make big decisions and to put things in perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books
Love movies: lately I start to discover the high quality of many french movies. Love the language too. Oftenly I feel like watching a american blockbuster movie but at the end of it I oftenly wonder if it would not have been better to see an 'alternative movie'
As my job requires me to read and 'to computer' a lot I'm not realy a book-reading type of guy.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
skydiving, finishing a phd, travalling through Mexico and China, working in the Andes in Equador, djembé stage in Guinée. The latter thing was really wonderfull. Every day there was music around me for about 3 weeks in a row, the nice people came just for free!
Surfing hollidays with friends in France, Spain and Portugal!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach some djembe playing, swimming (all 4 strokes), molecular biology....
