ABOUT ME
I grew up in France, in a city near Paris. I had the chance to travel in Italy, in New York, California, London and Indonesia with my family. However, my most amazing experiences as a traveller remains the personal ones, in Italy and Mexico, two countries where I would see myself living for a few years.

Music, Movies, and Books
I fell in love with hip hop (recently) and blues (a long time ago) although the "kind"" of music is not a pre-requisite. I like everything as soon as it makes you feel something.
Cinema and politics (in the most extensive sense possible) are my two genuine passions. I especially love italian cinema and documentaries.
Just to give some examples:
music:: jedi mind tricks, la rumeur, IAM, busta rhymes, wu-tang clan, cunnylingists, nas, common, raashman ahmad, cat power, neil young, bob (and damian) marley, the fugees, cypress hill, bob dylan, janis joplin, jb lenoir, bb king, eric clapton, gilberto gil, céu, ETC.
movies: martin scorcese, fellini, francisco rosi, Joris Ivens, Paul Meyer, Agnès Varda, Jodorowsky, Yann Le Masson, ETC.
books: Pablo Neruda, Henry Miller, Herman Hesse, Roberto Saviano, Abdemalek Sayad, researchers, ETC.
All these preferences are of course limited by my knowledge and therefore, partial and eager to be completed!
