CURRENT MISSION

My life, my jobs, my hobbies are based on meeting with other people. Me gusta viajar en espanol, cantar em portuges, et découvrir le monde en français. I share my life with my wife Claire Manoli (if you write to her, no need to write to me). Bienvenue !

ABOUT ME

People who know me would say, I guess, that I am friendly, welcoming, talkative, curious. I hope so !
I want to know about other cultures, so when I can I travel (once a year).
After my work, at night, I write songs and now sings them on stage, with my band Melocoton. You can hear some music here : www.myspace.com/senormelo
I like to take pictures too, and have made a few exhibitions.

PHILOSOPHY

If I knew...
Looking for serenity and happiness in the daily life.
