CURRENT MISSION :

ABOUT

Bonjour à tous !
I am now 34 and I come from the very south of France. After a few years teaching literature in my mountains, I have started a musical trip around the world with the idea of learning traditional folk songs. This led to this : YouTube.com/valerianmacrabbit. Then, unexpectedly another 7 months trip in India, and another one in Africa and Latin America. 3 years working as a teacher in Istanbul and no as a diplomatic in Chile !
Ps : am gay but not into hook ups.

Life has to be an adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Am very uncautious when it comes to meet wild animals. I could mention snorkeling with a whale or sea lions by myself or biking through a herd of Buffalos in Kenya. Quite dangerous but they had started crossing the road and they were more than 150 !

Teach, Learn, Share

I think it is all about sharing anecdotes and experiences.
