ABOUT ME

28 years old, long time procrastinator. Will do anything as long as it doesn't involve study/work/effort. Love film, a few drinks, hate Keanu Reeves. Enjoy roof climbing, spontaneous night swimming and hanging out with swedish backpackers met 10 minutes earlier. Speak english fluently and french, spanish, latin, arabic and various african dialects after 7+ drinks. Have a 3 legged dog who looks a bit like a rat, a brother who was obviously injected with growth hormones as a baby, a mother who revels in forming sentences using only words of 4 syllables or more and a father who bears an uncanny ressemblance to Robert de Castella.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hitchhiked along a highway in France at night. Full Wolf Creek style (but with french accents). It was not the smartest decision I've even made (not the stupidest either), not even very amazing BUT I am alive and as a result, quite impressed with myself.
