About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people....Discover other ways of life...

ABOUT ME

People usually say that I am a calm person and open-minded. I am very curious about almost everything...

I love to learn new things, to walk, I love nature and respect it, as well as animals.

When travelling I find it important te meet local people so to learn about them and their life.

PHILOSOPHY

"Il ne faut pas essayer de rajouter des années à sa vie mais plutôt de la vie à ses années."

How could I translate this...it says approximatively this: "Let's not try to add years to our life but let's try to add life to our years instead "

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to (almost) all kind of music , (it only depends on my mood of the moment). But my favorites are world music, classical, gypsies bands, rock (especially from the seventies : Pink Floyd, Led zeppelin...

I like to read everything that helps me understand better myself, humanity and nature. So it can be either documentaries about nature or any other thing, fictions , books of self-empowerment.....

I love documentaries, especially those about ancient civilizations , or about nature, travels....
I am not a big movie watcher but here are some of my favorites: Captain fantastic, Snowden, Miss sloane, matrix, fight club, catch me if you can, the wolf of wall street, Amélie, Into the wild.....
Animated movies from Miyazaki,
Funny and cute things like : toy storie, nemo, dory, shrek, puss in boots....

_Travelling alone ,with my old car, in Spain, during 3 months.
