About Me

CURRENT MISSION

have an open mind, an open heart. and to breathe.

ABOUT ME

i am an artist and a french obsessed american who has the loudest laugh you have ever heard.
i am really interested in couchsurfing in small towns around europe and turkey... i think that surfing in medium to small sized towns are the best way to see a region.
i don't usually like to "party"... i like going to a club only when i am in the right mood. my favorite nights are staying in with wine and close friends... :) i'm pretty calm and i go to bed pretty early.ok my favorite things:looking at art.reading.movies, all kinds, i just love movies...wine. (and learning about wine regions)photography.being silly.ANIMALS. i talk to dogs and cats on the street, i can't help it.

Teach, Learn, Share

"If you need to visualize the soul, think of it as a cross between a wolf howl, a photon, and a dribble of dark molasses."

ok i can teach you the BASICS of knitting (american knitting, though, not european knitting), how to cook a wicked bean burger and how to use your fancy new SLR camera. or... any other camera you have really.
