CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm 41. I'm a teacher in Bordeaux. I like travelling, reading, nothing very original. I'm very interested by history, arts, archeology,languages, genealogy, politics.
I can show you around in Bordeaux and region, if you want to.
I love to seat on my balcony with friends around a bottle of wine and a pot of olives and talk about the world. I find it funny to cook with my guests/hosts.
My german is much better than my english. I've learnt a bit of swedish (men jag har bara glömt all). Now I want to learn danish.
