CURRENT MISSION

I'm a French teacher who likes to travel and talk with people from different cultures.

ABOUT ME

I'm a person who likes to laugh, make jokes, and simply talk with people. I can speak three languages fluently (French, English & Spanish) and I try to learn some others by meeting people from all around the world.

I've already traveled through about 40 countries, especially in Europe and North America... and I'll keep on traveling as long as I can!!!

As a French teacher, I have taught French in different countries during my career.

I've played guitar for more than years because I love rock music. Jimi Hendrix is like God to me! :)
I also enjoy watching sports on TV and playing on weekends.
Finally, like many people, I love eating. Mexican, Italian, and Chinese foods are my favorite ones. Of course, I can't spend a week without eating some tartiflette, raclette, or fondue, which are typical dishes from Savoy (my home region, located in the French Alps).

PHILOSOPHY

Travel anytime you can! There are so many things to discover on Earth!!!
