About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spreading Dijon mustard all over the world... and beyond

ABOUT ME

I'm a French guy with all the good and the bad things it involves! Sure, I do eat snails but I'm always very interested in learning some new recipes!
For me, couch surfing is the best way of travelling! I never really liked staying few days in a country without meeting the people and feeling like actually living there!
I would be also very pleased to show my city to any person how wants to know a bit more about "la capitale des ducs de Bourgogne".

PHILOSOPHY

pursuit of happiness!
would it be by travelling all over the world, working hard, or spending some quality time watching a movie...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can definitely tell you few stuffs about Darwin's theory of natural selection (it's of great importance since he was born exactly 200 years ago this year). Ok now it was last year, but still! I can also teach you few words of Bislama language which can be helpfull for south pacific travellers!!
