About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

ABOUT ME

I'm definetely a Foodie, having an enthusiastic interest in the preparation and consumption of good food. Though, I would say it is becoming an obsession at this point :-)

My other (related) obsession is the alcoholic beverages, with a huge inclination towards craft beer.

My quest to finding good food and drinks brought me all over Europe, South-East Asia, South America, the United States and Canada, meeting a lot of interesting people along the way.

Then, Music is really important for me. I try to attend live concerts whenever possible. I prefer independant musicians but I enjoy pretty much everything that has the right groove for the right occasion.

I'm also avid of new technologies and couldn't live without my smartphone or spend a day without reading my Twitter feed.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is more precious than freedom and independance.
