About Me

CURRENT MISSION

be the change I want to see in the world !

ABOUT ME

I'm a guy who is really interested by living the life at 100mph ! (some people told me that I'm a good example of the "Work hard, play hard" expression.) Then, I'm a bit involved in a lot of things... In Canada or in Latina America. I'm passionate about the world and knowing people. I like to visit different places, but I prefer to "live" and "feel" the places I visit... Living in a place for few weeks and discover non-famous places (or barrios) is the kind of thing I like !

PHILOSOPHY

"be the change I want to see in the world !"
it could be a lot of things and meanings... I let you give the meanings you want ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

books ; a bit of Kundera, Pennac, Houellebecq... and obviously everything related to the World situation (economics, medical, politics, etc.)

Music ; Jack J., Archive, Arcade Fire, Gotan Project, moby, ... well its really various ; better to talk face to face on music than putting music groups in one sentence without context!

Movies : I used to work in cinema ; better also to talk face to face on this topic. I would say that some "cliché" movies in action or comedy have now my attention...
