CURRENT MISSION

Road Trip in the USA

ABOUT ME

I've lived in several countries and have been in France for 16 years. I teach English and participate in local community efforts and activities (Films, TV shows, short film festivals, live action role playing.) Jonathan works on audio-visual projects, and recently was director of photography for a VR youtube mini-series. He is very active in the local artistic community, acts as a mentor to beginners in video and cinéma techniques, and cooks amazing chicken and duck, French style. We are both bi-nationals, eternal expats, and we are both very curious people, interested in so many things, and we enjoy meeting people.
