ABOUT ME
Hi there! 30 something guy who lives in Paris (but I am actually nice) and who lived in Edinburgh for a year (hence the niceness).
I've never been good at description..er..I would say I am leftist, wine drinker, beer enthusiast...I discovered I enjoy the company of others more than anything (coming from a big family), I have been told I am very friendly, open-minded, I can be shy but also very out-going.
PHILOSOPHY
Don't be a dick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have met wonderful people on the course of those last 5 years, my life would not be the same without them, here are things I made thanks to them:
- I have been on an European trip when I was 18 with a friend, we slept on the river banks of Utrecht and then in a garden somewhere around Utrecht.
- on that same trip I have been to a squat party in Berlin (and then lost my way and wandered all night)
- I once baked a tiramisu (or what my Italian friend called a fakeramisu) for a hundred people. And also a chocolate cake
- I haves tasted amazing sea food in Memphis (if you happen to be there you want to check Pearl's oyster house).
- I have travelled in a Greyhound bus for 24 hours straight (from Illinois to New Orleans).. I don't know if this qualifies as amazing though.
