CURRENT MISSION
On the road to enlightenment!

ABOUT ME
I'm a French performing arts critic & journalist, as well as a freelance writer. I am always traveling for my job, hopping from one festival to another. Unfortunately, that means that I'm almost never in Paris, and probably won't be able to host you. But you can still message me, who knows! (I receive a lot of requests, and too generic/copied-pasted messages will have little to no chance to have me host you).

I dig music, and I'll jump at any chance to play & share with other people. You can hear some of my band's songs at http://www.daziemae.com.

PHILOSOPHY
"Qui est parvenu, ne serait-ce que dans une certaine mesure, à la liberté de la raison ne peut rien se sentir d'autre sur terre que voyageur." (Nietzsche)
