About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to live ten different lives.

ABOUT ME

Laughing and long talks with tea, coffee and red wine: it's what I like best. I love reading, music and taking pictures. I'm very much into travelling. It opens up your mind. Discovering new places truly is a joy.

PHILOSOPHY

As George Perec once said: 'Questionnez vos petites cuillers'. Or, in English: 'Question your dessert spoons'. Rediscover the things you got used to. The trivial can be very intriguing, funny and moving.
