About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting with Berlin, learning German

ABOUT ME

My name is Tristan, but some call me "Titu" (an old nickname inherited from my childhood). I was raised in Charentes (France), near Cognac (yes, that's where it's made !), a beautiful place I love very much and where I usually go back, "like river to the sea". I usually like to mix good food with good wine and friendly people. Once the meal is over, a digestive (a nice local liqueur) on soft music is always welcome. We might talk about how the world is falling apart and notice all the contradictions we live in. After the 5th whiskey (or Cognac of course, but i'm not picky...) we would probably conclude that this world is absurd and get along with it. Grab a guitar and sing away a few songs and laugh. Then we could eventually go dancing or listen to rocky live music. Life is about music, isn't it. And finally, crawl home to sleep in a friendly couch, put on the "Dark side of the moon" record and fall asleep, hoping the next day will bring the same pleasure.

I also enjoy the country side of the Earth pretty much... 4 days excursions to find a pretty spot in the mountain doesn't seem like an odd adventure to me. I like jokes, in all kinds : the good ones and the bad ones. And of course, I am not tongue tied and enjoy chatting with people in different languages.

PHILOSOPHY

"Go eat on the grass, hurry up, soon the grass will eat on you..." (Jacques Prevert)
