About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make every day an exceptionnal day for me and people I care for

ABOUT ME

Working in a mellting pot place in France I love to discover others countries when I am travelling. The most different it is, the better I enjoy it. Something important for me is to get the possibility to learn as much as I can of the culture of the country I am in.
I like travelling off the track, going in places tourists don't go is my bigger pleasure.

PHILOSOPHY

I only own my car and my liberty but only my car can be taken.
People from everywhere are the most valuable thing I care for ; I believe that human nature get me througth the life than nothing else can do. That's why I am travelling.
There is so much racism and fear of who is stranger in this world I do enjoy beeing a stranger in a foreign country.

Music, Movies, and Books

i like French classic litterature as well as English and I like to read history book related to the country I am in. Concerning music it is very wild : reggae, jazz, pop rock from the 70's (Doors, Hendrix, Joplin...) and lots of bands playing very special music like Portishead, Birdy Nam Nam, Massive Attack, Sonic Youth... As a percussionist I like african music as well.
