Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up
ABOUT ME
Heia ! I studied then worked then travelled and finally settled. I recently moved to Rotterdam with my Dutch girlfriend. I work as an audiovisual engineer and I won't be very useful at the moment in showing you around. Easy going, curious, determined, and sometimes scatterbrain ;)
PHILOSOPHY
I don't travel to travel, but to have traveled.

Music, Movies, and Books
electronic, jazz, hiphop.
Last book I read was 'Down and Out in Paris and London' by Orwell. I like many different styles (Auster, Hermans, Fante...).
In my opinion, the american cinema of the 1970s is one of the most interesting cinematographic period.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ate rotted shark in Iceland. Sauna followed by swimming in ice-cold water in Finland. Home-made vodka in StPetersburg. Transsiberian. Lonely hiking in Mongolia. Cycled more than 18000Km through Asia. Ate olive python and wallaby tail. I actually expect much more!
Teach, Learn, Share
Computing and audiovisual stuffs (movie, picture and sound processing). I used to play rugby, saxophone and pan flute. Of course, I can also help you learning french :) Oh... I improved my skills in repairing bicycles the last few months.
