ABOUT ME

Being graduated as medical doctor, I had the opportunity to go to work in a hospital in Irak for 1 month, but loving so much the country and the people, I came back for one year, then Mauritania, Afghanistan, then to Libya up to 2007.
Love very much deserts (Libya is marvelous), the sand colour, the wind, the sun.
I love so much travelling and meeting people, many very simple people opened their home to host me for one night as a prince. I wish to offer the hospitality to guests and share with them my interest for Paris, the most beautiful city for me.
Spending several years in Middle East, I also have a special interest for the history, culture, architecture. Realizing how different cultures have common links and more things in common than what I thought
