CURRENT MISSION

My current goal is to get published. I'm tryng to write but I'm quite lazy sometimes. I already lived in Brazil 8 years and came back to Brazil recently.

ABOUT ME

Well I've traveled a lot, I have 5 kids (one lives in Salvador, Brazil, another one in Amsterdam, Holland, and I have 3 more living in Nimes, France). I'm originally from the tiny caribbean island of Guadeloupe. My folks moved to France back in the 60's and I made most of my studying there. I've worked as a French and English teacher for more than 10 years. Also worked in publishing. Also worked for the French Post Office another 10 years. Now I'm teaching French and English in Salvador, Brazil. I own my on language centre POLYGLOT TROTTER IDIOMAS . If you feel like it we can teach you Brazilian Portuguese. The school is 200 meters from the seaside in Itapuã. I DON'T SMOKE, OK ! BUT I LOVE COOKING AND COOKS !

Музыка, кино и книги

I enjoy anything south american (from music to literature via food). I just love magical realism. But to be honest with you I about enjoy anything !

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I had a close encounter with death when I was something like 24. I was riding a motorcycle and got bumped into by a car. Life turned violet all of a sudden. A broken tooth and a stitched lip are still here to testify !

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I can teach French or English
I can teach creative writing
Also guitar for starters

I'd love to learn how to swim (this is my challenge for the next 5 years)(I've already had swimming classes now and then but the fear to drown is so great)
