About Me

found happiness in dark trainstations where we were sleeping in winter, in broken jazzbars and sometimes just by chance on the street.
speaking french when in the mood and a hundred imaginary languages more when in contact with too much wine;
mostly in a good mood, trying to be in the moment as much as possible,
spitting into rivers when angry with life
(it helps, definitely!); wearing scars and clothes and heavy backpacks with pride.
etc.etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A New Year's eve in Sinai, living outside in Greece for a month, a small village in North East Thailand, Belgrade at six in the morning, stepping out of Marseille's trainstation into the light.. to name just a few!

Overall, people and their stories.
Sunsets and sunrises.
Forests, coasts, mountains, the sea..
Moments of poetry, magic.
