ABOUT ME
Well... it´s difficult to talk about our proper self and to be objective about it. I'm a chef in France but right now i'm travelling and my mission is to discover more and more things and news plates and tastes, and enjoy life, of course!
I´m a friendly, open minded and curious person and i like to do many things! Meet people, learn diferents cultures and languages, make party and concerts, share a good food discussing about everything, silly, funy and important things. Drink wine.
I think we must test all we can, that it´s our experiences wich built us.
I´m greedy of new tastes and i love spicy food.
I read a lot and used to go a lot to the cinema.
I like to walk in the steets and watch, listen people when i discover a new place or a new city.
I love dreaming.
PHILOSOPHY
Look, touch, smell, test...be curious and enjoy every moment you can. Life is an eternal trip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The glaciar Perito Moreno (Argentina Patagonia). The incredible colour blue reflected inside the glaciar and it's so big! there is kilometers of ice, it's amazing in the silence of the morning.
Teach, Learn, Share
It would be a pleasure to share end teach what i know whith other people but i guess we exchange and teach to each other each time we meet people confronting our experiences of travel, culture, food...
Many things to learn! One of the things i really want to learn is music, to play piano and to dance the salsa!
