CURRENT MISSION

I want to tame a platypus, become his friend, and learn more about his life

ABOUT ME

I think my friends see me as being simple, friendly, trustworthy, very honest (sometime too much), curious, open minded, adventurous, music/movie addict, somehow crazy, sometime bizarre!

I love the prospect of travelling, meeting great people able to influence my outlook on life, sharing knowledges about everything, finding something to do with my life that be as much a passion as an occupation...

I've always been very close to nature: I love picturing wildlife and amazing landscapes!
But I also appreciate interesting towns and I would like to travel almost anywhere in the world.
I hate daily routine, but sometime I appreciate staying at home and do lazy stuffs!

PHILOSOPHY

"You Have the Watches, We Have the Time"

In life, "what is essential is invisible to the eyes"

"If you can't find happiness in yourself, no need to look elsewhere"

I try to respect and to be in good terms with everybody...
I hate quarreling and making stories about bullshits.

Interests

I love living unusual experiences, meeting new people, discovering people from other cultures, discovering new music from everywhere in the world, drawing (at least I try!), fishing, cooking, making my own bread, taking my time to take pictures, gardening, tinkering, walking during the night, climbing trees, partying, drinking beers, laughing, enjoying life as much as I can...

I practice jujitsu and climbing. I love hiking, skiing, kayaking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won a trip to the Bahamas by playing a stupid game; and I didn't even know there was something to win -_-!
I worked with grizzlies while living a miraculous fishing in Alaska!
I saw northern lights in Canada!
I swam in the icy waters of Norway!
I tamed a fox family!
I saved a fish farm from what could have been a terrible economic disaster, all alone!
Each time I find some money on the floor (very often), something bad happen top me!!! So I guess I'm cursed!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you:
How to fish!
How to make real french baguette with a very specific method!
How to cook some other french specialties with cheese and potatoes!
How to cook gravlax, a scandinavian specialty with salmon!
How to recognize mushrooms you can eat!

I would like to make my english perfect. I also really need to improve my german speaking, which is very poor even after many years of learning at school... I would like also to learn some spanish. I would like to learn how to play guitare and/or piano. I would also like to learn drawing methods. My dream would be also to brew my own beer!

Finally, there's so much things we can learn from others that I can't list it. But I'm curious about learning anything that you can teach me.
