About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Here and now

ABOUT ME

I love everything provided that it has been made with soul. I am interested in any kind of art. I practise the art of cooking myself quite well. I love nature and places where there are no road nor electricity. I love exchanging with people. My richness is my friends.I am a tall sensitive ironic guy.

PHILOSOPHY

Le soleil n'est jamais aussi beau qu'un jour ou l'on se met en route. (Jean Giono)
The sun is never as beautiful as the day you take the road.
