About Me

i'm a life-addicted for sure ! i love to travel and to discover everything around me : cultures, people, musics, places, food ... i love to meet people who learn me more about life than any book does !!

I like trying to understand the world, read books, share stories, travel alone, record sounds, collect old and useless but beautiful objects, find broken furniture in the street and bring it back home, drink good coffee, do stupid things sometimes (makes me feel clever afterwards ) do the washing up with music out louds, being barefoot, watch the sea ...

PHILOSOPHY

"1.Submissive to everything, open, listening
2.Try never get drunk outside yr own house
3.Be in love with yr life
4.Something that you feel will find its own form
5.Be crazy dumbsaint of the mind
6.Blow as deep as you want to blow"

(keep trying n°2)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Vipassana

Teach, Learn, Share

i can show you how to touch your nose with your tongue, to cook, to sew, to play maracas and kazou, funny dice games and i can teach you how to make painting with stuff you find in you're kitchen : potatoe, bier or milk and here we go, you'll have a brand new living room !

learn me how to cook, to juggle (good luck !), light a cigg with no fire and build an igloo.
