CURRENT MISSION

Manage monocycling. :-) Get to know every place of Paris (my city, I know...)

ABOUT ME

I enjoy travelling, meeting new pople and seeing new places. I've travelled in Argentina, Switzerland, Russia, Turkey... Whenever I travel, I try to learn the language of the place I am going. I love languages and try to learn more - I know French, English, Spanish, some Russian an very little Turkish.

I also like to share the beauties of Paris, my city - it is full of nice places, and I can show people around.

My timetable is quite busy with teaching stuff and University matters, and if I have something to read or write I unfortunately have little time for my hosts.

I like all kind of sports ! I need to move. In the evenings, I like reading, especially philosophy, and talking. Clubbing is definitely not my favourite.

PHILOSOPHY

"The heaviest burden is existing without living." Victor Hugo.
"Which is more beautiful - feline movement or feline stillness?” -Elizabeth Hamilton
