About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Current mission? Meeting new people I'd guess.

ABOUT ME

I'm a museum guide, aged 26, who loves drinking LOTS of coffee, drawing comics (http://koudavbine.blogspot.fr/), listening to music and playing basketball. I also hoard books, enjoy any kind of art and cycle around for miles while yelling at crazy motorists.
I live in Lille with my female partner and two cats, but we don't have a comfy couch so I'm afraid we can't host people for now.
I always like to have a good laugh, though, so I'm ready to meet new people, I can also show you around Lille (it's even been my job at some point).

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a personal philosophy for now, & tend to make fun of people who claim they do. Rigid certainties bug me.
I really love "Who I am and what I want" by David Shrigley : http://www.vimeo.com/298584 , that's nice philosophy to me!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies, music, books, I love them all! Making a list of my favourite ones would take all day, and I'm feeling lazy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met many of my favourite philosophers, I worked in a prison, I got on the roof of Lille's biggest mall, I bought a pan flute Beatles tribute CD right next to the Machu Picchu in Cuzco, I try to do awesome stuff everyday, actually.

Teach, Learn, Share

I had the opportunity to teach my fellow art students english at some point, improved my teaching skills AND patience (frenchies suck at foreign languages). If you need any help with that, feel free to ask.
Tambien, he perdido mi espanol porque no tengo oportunidades de hablarlo, es mucho triste! ¿Puedes ayudarme, uh?
