CURRENT MISSION

To complete my profile in english ;-)

ABOUT ME

I'm very curious, that's why I love reading, traveling and knowing new countries and people. I'm quite tolerant and open-minded, at least I try...
When I'm hosted I'm especially careful not to disturb, to make dirty, to make noise (even if sometimes, apparently, I snore a bit;-)). I'm de bonne compagnie (how to translate that ?) trying not to become intrusive.
