J'habite à St Hilaire depuis peu (juillet 2019), avant ça je vivais à Toulouse, et avant ça en Chine. Un retour à la nature en somme, fatigué des grandes villes et de la pollution, vive la mer et la forêt ! :)

J'ai 35 ans, je suis prof de français pour les étudiants étrangers et également créateur de livres pour enfants, une petite aventure que je mène avec ma mère depuis un peu plus d'un an.

Je fais pas mal de choses sur le plan artistique: musique, compos, photos, vidéos entre autres.
et je suis passionné de voyages, évidemment, sinon je ne serais pas ici :)

I'm French and I used to live in China and teach French for 6 years in different cities such as Chongqing, Wuhan and Yangzhou. I also make books for kids with my mother !
I'm now in France and living next to the beach :)

My passions are music and film making, photography, design,and everything related to arts. Here's my Youtube page with some of my songs and music videos:

I like to exchange languages, cultures, travel experiences. I love to meet funy, creative, smart and open minded people.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to feel free, so I don't want to stay all my life doing the same things, staying in the same places, I want to discover new places, new people, new things.. life is short!
My philosophy: to keep a young spirit, respect, do something while you can, otherwise you'll regret it.
