CURRENT MISSION

"All islands to which birds wing their way, I wing my way myself" Walt Whitman

ABOUT ME

All about me !? Well I guess you'll have to come to know that... I'm preparing a trip to Mongolia. I've been to India and Nepal working with Tibetan refugees and leprosy patients, spent two years in Dominican Republic, one in Great Britain, visited Turkey, Morocco, Haiti, Argentina... Europe... and lately South Africa. I speak fluent English and Spanish, I love sports and arts, and above all I love meeting people and sharing experiences. Arnaud and I share a lot of these tastes, but he's also a maths and IT genius (don't tell him I said so!). He's new to the world of travellers, but having started with Nepal there's no stopping him now !

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a buddhist. Any philosophy /religion welcome, just COME AS YOU ARE. (Fully clothed, though)

音乐、电影和书籍

You'll see that on our shelves. Which are, by the way, collapsing under books and CDs, especially since Arnaud settled here and doubled the quantity... Both of us are definitely Pratchett fans !

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

"Amazing" things done :
- I drank a Nepali cocktail made of honey, dried fried oily yak cheese and strong alcohol with a straight, mildly smiling expression ;
- fought a krait in South India with a stick (the krait was stuck in what was supposed to be a bathroom) and won without killing nor getting killed.
- Survived about nine marriage proposals while travelling alone in Morroco and managed not to use my taekwondo skills to knock my pretenders out.
- Was lovingly kidnapped by all the women in a Turkish village : they refused to let me go until I had married the neighbour's handsome cousin, learnt to knit and adopted the whole family. I diplomatically countered the propositions : I would learn to knit but teach them taekwondo ; the cousin was certainly handsome, but I was still too young to accept such a flattering proposal ; as for adoption, no problem !
- Arnaud managed NOT to get sunburnt in Nepal, which is amazing indeed as he got sunburnt in Ireland once...
- We saw a leopard and wild dogs in South Africa - which seemed pretty amazing considering that both animals are so rarely observed.

教，学，和分享

Teaching languages is my job... but I can also share a few things about nature, history, and naturopathy. And I'm curious about.. well, just about anything. Arnaud and I love roleplay and original games. We both practise taekwondo.
