About Me

Important: I can just host saturday and sunday evening and not always.

CURRENT MISSION

To finish reading Dostoïevsky.

ABOUT ME

What should one write about himself? Well, me, I suppose I’m among the lucky ones who don’t actually know themselves. It’s like what Cocteau said, that if he knew himself, he would run away. Something like that..

I’m generally a curious person, a natural enthousiaste, interested in anything that could possibly excite or inspire me.

I’m a vegetarian, a smoker to quit (eventually) and a chocolate addict.

Finally, I'm foolishly in love with Paris..

PHILOSOPHY

Hope is for the weak. The strong ones are optimists.
Adventure is the best way to practise life -“Vivere pericolosamente”
And ..let’s exagerate, either in sadness or in happiness.
