About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to gain a wide knowledge in the world, cultures, and people we live amongst.

ABOUT ME

I'm French/Australian/German/Lithuanian/English/Spanish, I come from a family of artists.. I have travalled extensively since early childhood. It's the best.

I'm interested in Film, Art, things of an earthy nature, I love live music and all those wonderful things.

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy everyday, learn something, laugh, love.
