I love to cook a good meal, share a drink, stories and chat philosophy, relationships and finding meaning in random things.

Je veux bien vous cuire un repas pour dire merci, et partagé des bierres, ou un vin rouge plein de gout!

I play cello and drums which is a bizarre combination I know. Means I get to collaborate with some wide ranging artists. Love it.

Je suis violoncelliste, et je joue la batterie aussi, et j’ai fait beaucoup de concerts - demande moi les histoires!

Food is life.

La nourriture. C'est la vie.

Films and music and art are my language.

I've just discovered surfing, and I cannot get enough of it.

J'ai récemment découvrir surfing. Il n'y as presque riens qui me plait plus!
