About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try, Travel, Taste, Love,& Try to Understand

ABOUT ME

I'm open & curious.
When I was 14 I try to discover my country, Britanny in France, in hitchhiking and be voluntaree in music fetivals...
When I was 17 I start to work in cook and do with this money, my first (at 18) travel around Europe (Spain, Portugal, Czesch Republic, Holland, mainly).
When I was 20 I continue to explore Europe and with the money of season working I do a second tour : Romania, Hungaria, Italia, España.
When I was 21 I was barman in Dublin (Ireland) during 4 months after that I cooked in "Les 2 Alpes" during the winter season. And I join my girlfriend who was living in Poland in Lodz and stay 3 months. We were in summer 2008 and decided to go back in France but in taking our time. We've crossed east Europe with a Interail pass across czech republic, slovakia, hungaria, romania, bulgaria, and greece where we stayed 2 weeks, we crossed adriatic in boat and travel in Italia. After we boarded a train to Amsterdam, Brussels, and go back finally in France...
Now I'm 26, I get a passport, and I want start to travel out Europa. The Russia call me and I have to start in Saint Petersburg for some reasons but the main it's because i love this city before know it!

Music, Movies, and Books

5 of my favorites movies :
- Les Valseuses (Bertrand Blier)
- Underground (Emir Kusturica)
- Balada Triste de Trumpete (Alex de la Iglesia)
- Swing (Tony Gatlif)
- Fight Club (David Fincher)

I like to read dark book who take me in strange universe. I love classics... But my favorite text who can be my philosophy is :
"Vårt behov av tröst" (in swedish) by Stig Dagerman called aswell in french "Notre besoin de consolation est impossible à rassasier".
But I don't know anything about the other traductions...

Its really difficult to talk about music for me because its really larger... from the classics to electro, from the 60's calypso to the Dub, from the Blues to the Hardcore, I don't what can I say. I know one thing I hate the fucking commercial american actual music you can heard everywhere in every country!
