ABOUT ME

I like to explore, rock climb, swingdance and bike lots. Meeting new people, and certainly getting lost in new cities. I love to eat fresh veggies and fruit as I have a nasty allergy to gluten. One of my favorite things in the world is sushi. I like to drink coffee too.

I have a lovely swing band with 6 French guys. I sing and play the bass drum and washboard. We are called "Hippocampus Jass Gang". As well as another band where we sing the repertoire of Billie Holiday.

My city is vibrant. 7 miles or so from the sea. Almost always brilliant weather except when it's raining (the plants need to grow too) and that's nice too.

Within the next year I would like to go to Iceland.
