ABOUT ME

I was born in Strasbourg, France. I have been living in the Netherlands and in England for the last 3 years.

I am easygoing, very sociable, and ready to share good moments, nevertheless I consider myself respectful and can be very quiet, bla bla bla…
I like playing chess, playing Risk, debating about international relations and what's happening in the world during hours, eating good food (that I also cook myself, just saying..)

I am a big fan of classical music and I play the piano for a long time now. I enjoy playing video games and rugby. I am also interested in astronomy, history, litterature...

And there is more to learn from me, I think.

I am also fond of classical, romantic, and french "Impressionist" music (Debussy of course but also Fauré, Satie and Ravel). I play the piano and I what I enjoy the most is working on Mozart and Schubert.

Books:

Céline (Voyage au bout de la nuit), Steinbeck's work (Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, East of Eden..) and more generally the American literature which is simple and authentic. The Lord of the Rings, Stefan Zweig's and Aldous Huxley's works... etc. I should not forget philosophy in general.
