About Me

CURRENT MISSION

on every thing, joy is what surprises me the most... so, to be joyful! Without being blind, that's a whole political challenge!

ABOUT ME

I enjoy playing a lot, sharing music, dancing. And also, practicing acroyoga, talking about feminism, politics, gardening, partying, talking about anything, travelling, telling stories...

PHILOSOPHY

Tu crois que tu vas faire un voyage; et sur le chemin c'est le voyage qui te fait ou te défait.
(Nicolas bouvier)
We are a journey, not a goal.

Music, Movies, and Books

Down by law, by Jim Jarmush
Parasites
Les misérables
Kitchen stories
Respiro
The 2 popes
Man on the moon
Welcome to sodom
Pity
...

The comic strip, Persepolis, from Satrapi,
In music, I love Selim Sesler, Munir Bashir, Michael Jackson, Riff Cohen,
So I listen to world jazz, African music (balafon and kora are wizards to me), Indian, Russian, Greek, Turkish and Arabic music, swing (I'm a fan of ella Fitzgerald), and some pop, and funk, afrobeat, son jarocho, son cubano...

As for books, I'm never able to finish any, because I'm eager to discover new ones, novels, short stories or essays. Among the writers I love, Nicolas Bouvier, a traveller who went from Geneva to Kiber pass (Himalaya) in the 50's, and tells about his trip.
And there is Giono, and Bauchau, Garcia Marques, Panait Istrati, thrillers as well such as Fred Vargas...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There was a bear on my bicycle trail once close to Quebec!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share music, part of my work is actually having music workshops with children or adults. I like it!
I can share what I know about languages as well, It would be a pleasure to teach you sth I know if you want to learn it!
And I'm very interested to learn about puppet making, painting, sculpting, ceramics. Manual stuff! And history, politics, languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can take you to concerts, jams, hang out to bars, or garden!
